How these 25 courses were chosen

Every course below is a real, currently listed course from Coursera, Udemy, edX, matched to "data processing" by our catalog and ordered by our CourseAsk score. Courses whose own title names the topic rank above those only tagged with it.

There are no star ratings on this page — the course feeds we license do not include them, and we would rather leave a column out than fill it with a number we cannot stand behind. What we do have is price: these range from $30.00 to $807.30, as listed by the provider when we last updated the page.

What the prices here tell you

The 24 priced courses on this page run from $30.00 to $807.30, with the middle of the range around $49.00 — a spread of $777.30. That is a wide gap for one subject. A higher price on this page usually reflects who is behind the course rather than how much material it contains, so it is worth opening two or three at different price points and comparing their syllabus before deciding.

Who is behind these courses

These courses come from Coursera, Udemy and edX. The platforms differ in how they sell: some charge once per course, others expect a subscription, and the listed price is not always what you pay at checkout after a promotion. 14 of these are produced by a named university or institution, including University of Colorado Boulder, Delft University of Technology and Stanford University — which usually means a fixed syllabus and a recognised certificate, rather than an individual instructor’s own course.

Before you enrol

Open the provider’s own page and check three things this comparison cannot tell you: when the course was last updated, what the syllabus actually covers in its later sections, and what recent learners say. Prices shown here are the provider’s listed price when we last rebuilt this page on 30 August 2026 — they change often, and a promotion can move them substantially. We earn a commission if you enrol through our links, which costs you nothing and never affects the order courses appear in.
