Pricing questions
What's free?
The first 2 lessons of every course, with their live models, tasks and quizzes. No credit card, no time limit. It's the best way to see if learning by doing suits you.
What does VIP add?
Every other lesson, every MBA lesson, case and simulation, and every new course as it's released. Free lessons show each business case's situation; VIP members make the decisions and get the debrief.
Will my price go up?
Not while you stay a member. Your yearly price stays the same at every renewal, even if the price for new members rises later.
Is this a degree? Do I get a certificate?
No. Crayon MBA doesn't hand out degrees or certificates. It gives you the knowledge an MBA teaches, so you can understand and run a business, talk with any executive, and decide well. Many people want that without two years and $150,000.
Why is there a discount in my country?
Membership gets an automatic regional discount in lower-income countries so the price is fair everywhere. If you see it, it's already applied at checkout, and it stays for every renewal. No code needed.
Why yearly only?
Learning the MBA takes months of steady practice. One $49 payment covers a whole year, which works out to about $4.08 a month.
Can I cancel?
Yes, anytime from your dashboard in two clicks. You keep access until the end of the year you paid for.
Will it renew automatically?
Yes, once a year, and we email you before it renews. You can turn off renewal anytime from "Manage billing" on your dashboard.
What if it's not for me?
Email hello@crayonmba.com within 14 days of buying for a full refund. No questions asked.
