About
edX is an online learning platform that hosts courses, certificates, professional certificates, MicroBachelors, MicroMasters, and executive education programs from universities and companies. The catalog includes self-paced courses and cohort-style programs across computer science, data science, business, finance, healthcare, sustainability, and other subjects.
The free offering is not described as a standalone free plan on the provided pages. The pricing page instead highlights a promotional discount code for select paid offerings, while the course catalog shows many individual courses that can be browsed without indicating a specific free usage allowance for the platform itself.

Free Tier Value
This page does not show a free tier, trial, or dollar-denominated credit—only a limited-time 15% discount on paid courses and programs. Because there is no concrete free allowance to compare against a paid plan, there is no defensible monthly free-tier value to estimate. A credit card is not mentioned for free access because no free access is described.
