What moves the price

Three things that change the number

The range above is real listings, not a market survey. These are the reasons two coaches on the same page charge different amounts.

How often you meet

A monthly plan is regular calls plus chat between them. Meeting every week costs more than a monthly check-in.

Who you hire

A coach who has done the job for years charges more than someone early in their practice.

The specialty

A narrow brief, like a career change or a first leadership role, is priced differently from general coaching.

Other coaching prices

The same listing method, for the other roles with a cost page. Each figure is the median monthly plan.

How much does a career coach cost?

On MentorCruise, 251 career coaches list monthly plans from $70 to $900. The median is $260. That price covers regular calls and chat, not a single session.

What does the monthly price include?

A monthly plan is ongoing. You meet on a cadence you agree with the career coach, and you can message them between calls.

Why do prices differ so much?

Cadence, seniority and specialty. A coach who meets weekly and has years in the work charges more than a monthly check-in with someone newer to coaching.

Can I talk to a coach before I pay?

Yes. Coaches offer a free intro call, so you can talk to a few and pick the one who fits.

I'm putting together my case for a staff promotion. Could you review it before I submit it?
Of course. Send me the draft by Thursday and we'll go through it together on our call.
Thank you! Same time next month too?
Sounds good. Bring any feedback from your manager and we'll plan the next step.
