Plan & Pricing
Product: Aplia (Cengage)
Summary: No public standalone subscription/retail pricing for "Aplia" is listed on the vendor site. Aplia is offered as part of Cengage platforms (e.g., Aplia in MindTap) and is made available to students via course-specific digital access purchases or via the Cengage Unlimited student subscription. Official Cengage pages direct instructors/administrators to contact a Learning Consultant or sales rep for adoption/pricing information for institutional or instructor-led purchases.
Pricing model(s) & official examples (from Cengage official site):
-
Cengage Unlimited (student subscription — gives access to Aplia when Aplia is part of an assigned Cengage course):
- US official materials and tools reference a typical price of $124.99 per term (4 months) on several Cengage pages and calculators (region-specific pricing may vary). (See Cengage Unlimited pages.)
- AU Cengage regional page lists $119.99 per term (4 months) and multi-term options $179.99 per 1 year, $239.99 per 2 years (AU site). (See AU Unlimited partner/offers page.)
-
Individual course/platform access (student purchase per course/ISBN):
- Cengage product pages show per-course Instant Access/Instant Access ISBN-based purchases with example prices (varies by title/course). Example product pages show prices such as $79.95, $84.95, $89.95, $165.00, etc. Exact price depends on the course product/ISBN and selected access duration (one-term, two-terms, 1 year). (See multiple MindTap product pages.)
- Official student-facing help docs state: “Prices start at $50” for Cengage online learning platforms (official guidance). (See student platform help page.)
-
Institutional/adoption pricing: Contact a Cengage Learning Consultant / sales rep for instructor/institution pricing and licensing; official Aplia pages instruct to contact a Learning Consultant for information. (See Aplia/MindTap product pages.)
Notes & purchase pathways:
- Aplia is commonly packaged inside MindTap and other Cengage platforms—students typically obtain access via the bookstore, an access code/ISBN, instructor-provided Inclusive Access (instant access), or Cengage Unlimited subscription.
- Free/temporary access: Cengage allows temporary access (trial/temporary access determined by course length) to its online learning platforms to ensure students can access materials on the first day of class.
