Maven Analytics review

Maven Analytics fits career changers who want to land an analyst role first and grow into data science from there. Its free forever plan includes a personal learning plan, practice tool assessments and a public project portfolio, which is a useful place to collect work for applications. Pro adds every course, path and project in the library, live expert-led workshops, graded skills assessments, and badges and credentials. In November 2026 Maven ran a Black Friday offer of $239 for the first year of Pro instead of $399, shown on the page as $20 a month, with renewal at $399 a year for new subscribers. A new AI for Data Analysts 2027 path was also promoted. The catalog is built around analytics tools, so learners who want deep machine learning and neural networks will get more from Dataquest, Codecademy or Udacity. Teams pay $39 a seat a month, billed yearly.
