Brilliant

An interactive STEM learning platform that teaches math, science, and computer science through hands-on practice and visualization.

Brilliant is an interactive STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Math) learning platform built around the core philosophy of “learning by doing”—instead of watching videos or reading text, you grasp abstract concepts through interactive simulations, drag-and-drop manipulation, and visual tools. For example, when studying probability, you can flip virtual coins yourself, tweak parameters, and watch the results unfold; when learning to code, you can write and run code right in your browser in real time. Brilliant’s courses span math (algebra/geometry/calculus/probability), science (physics/chemistry/biology), computer science (algorithms/data structures/machine learning), and logical thinking. Every course wraps up with a real project (such as “simulating planetary motion with Python”) to make sure what you learn actually gets applied. In 2026, Brilliant 3.0 will double the number of courses and add AI-powered personalized learning paths.

The free tier includes a selection of courses and daily challenges; Premium at $25/month (or $150/year) unlocks all courses and projects; the Teams plan at $50/user/month adds learning management and progress tracking. Brilliant’s pricing sits in the mid-range among online education platforms, but its interactive experience makes it stand out for value.

In terms of market positioning, Brilliant competes with Khan Academy, Coursera, and Udemy. Khan Academy is free but leans on video instruction; Coursera/Udemy focus on pre-recorded courses; Brilliant, by contrast, emphasizes interactive, hands-on practice. Its typical users are high school and college students (supplementing STEM coursework), working professionals (pivoting to coding or upgrading skills), and lifelong learners (keeping their minds sharp). It’s built for learners who want to do, not just passively watch.

Note: Currently available in English only; interactive courses require a modern browser (latest versions of Chrome/Firefox/Safari); the free tier includes a limited number of courses; some advanced courses (such as machine learning) require a certain math foundation.
