How Much Is an Apex Legends Coach?

Hiring an Apex Legends coach might seem like an interesting proposal. However, despite all the fun, valuable lessons you'll learn, are you still worried that the price will be too high? This article will explain how much these coaches take for an hourly lesson and what affects this price.
Whether you’re looking for a coach through specialized platforms such as WeCoach or freelancing websites, the prices are generally the same. The hourly rate ranges from $15 to $30, but you might get a discount if you buy larger bundles.
Generally speaking, most coaches are flexible about the type of coaching and methodology you'll receive. However, if you connect with a person through a specialized platform, both sides must keep their part of the agreement (you need to pay a certain sum, while the coach needs to teach you for a specified number of hours).
Every coach who uses coaching platforms has complete control over their pricing, meaning if they want to, they can put a high hourly price. However, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll get a lot of clients, as competition is stiff in this line of work. These are a few factors that affect coaches' prices beyond supply and demand:
The general rule of thumb is that the coach should be a much higher rank than you. However, if a person is a professional or on the verge of professional level, they'll likely charge much higher fees. It’s worth noting that most coaches are in a similar tier, explaining similar prices.
Experience in Apex Legends or another shooter will significantly impact the price. Remember that most coaches haven't played at a high level but might have participated in smaller LAN tournaments. Competitive experience is especially valuable when addressing the aspect of teamwork in Apex Legends.
While experience can easily be assessed, you don't know much about the coach's expertise before working with him. Some coaches overvalue their knowledge, while others undervalue it. Ideally, you should find someone with a solid grasp of teamwork, positioning, communication, and mechanics who doesn't charge too high.
Experts who have Kick, Twitch, or YouTube channels with many followers might charge you higher. Then again, if you haven't heard about the person, there isn't a reason why you would spend extra on their classes.
The hardest thing is determining whether you should keep working with an expert after several weeks of coaching sessions. So, before hiring a person, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to set timelines and goals:
Keep in mind that not everyone will reach their goal. For example, some people want to become professionals, but they might simply don't have the knack for it. As a result, you might want to quit lessons at one point when you determine there's nothing more to learn from a coach.
Platforms such as WeCoach have many Apex Legends coaches with different experiences. Reviewing their resumes, you can find a solid, affordable coach who will suit your goals. We recommend trying several coaches until you find the right person for your playstyle and attitude.
