edX offers a one-time payment model, providing you with lifetime access to the course materials once you've paid. This approach may be preferable if you value long-term access without recurring charges.

Coursera utilizes a subscription-based model, allowing for more flexibility in your learning pace. However, you'll only have access to the course materials while your subscription is active.

Both platforms offer a free audit period of up to 4 weeks, giving you the opportunity to explore the course content before making a financial commitment. When you choose to pay, you'll gain access to additional benefits such as graded assignments, quizzes, final exams, and exclusive content not available to audit learners.

Your choice between edX and Coursera for UMD's Product Management programs will depend on your preferred payment structure, desired access duration, and learning style. Consider which model aligns best with your goals and learning preferences as you embark on your Product Management education journey.
