Gaming coaching and teammate prices in 2026

What did this price survey find?

The median published price of a gaming coaching hour is USD 25.00, or €22.34, and the full set runs from USD 10.00 to USD 175.00 an hour. We read 12 platforms on 10 November 2026 and recorded 97 prices from the 5 that published one. Three findings follow, and every figure sits in the table below with the page it came from.

• Median coaching hourUSD 25.00€22.34 at the ECB rate of 9 November 2026An hour of one-to-one coaching is the one unit most platforms price openly. Our survey median covers 69 coach-set rates on Metafy and WeCoach. The cheapest hour was USD 10.00 and the dearest USD 175.00. Duoly charges a flat €12.99 instead.
• Range by service type€1.79 to €156.35One teammate game at the low end, one coaching hour at the high endThree service types price differently. First, coaching by the hour ran USD 10.00 to USD 175.00. Second, coaching sold as a session with no stated duration ran USD 9.99 to USD 100.00. Finally, teammate time per game ran Buff 2.00 to Buff 9.00, and E-Pal prices 1 Buff at USD 1.00.
• Platform fees vary3.7% plus USD 1.79What Metafy states it adds to a buyer's subtotalFees decide the total. Metafy publishes a 3.7% platform fee plus USD 1.79 and a 2.9% processing fee plus USD 0.40. E-Pal charges 10% on a wallet top-up. QueueUp refunds up to USD 35.00 after a first paid session. For example, a Duoly order nobody accepts refunds itself after 5 minutes.

How much does gaming coaching cost per hour?

Gaming coaching costs a median of USD 25.00 an hour, which is €22.34 at the European Central Bank euro reference rates published on 9 November 2026. Our survey found 69 rates sold explicitly by the hour, from only 2 platforms that publish one openly. First, 1) 16 Valorant coach cards on WeCoach with a median of USD 25.00, then 2) 50 League of Legends cards at the same USD 25.00 median, and 3) 3 Overwatch 2 sessions labelled one hour on Metafy at USD 25.00 to USD 30.00. Second, the spread is wide: 39% of rates sit between USD 20.00 and USD 29.99, while 16% ask USD 50.00 or more. For example, the dearest single hour was USD 175.00, which is €156.35. Finally, two prices come close to an hour without being one: QueueUp fixes an Instant session at USD 24.00 for 45 minutes, and Gamer Sensei sells a 30 minute skills assessment at USD 24.99. Duoly lists €12.99 an hour in all 20 coached games.

What does a paid gaming teammate cost?

A paid teammate is a price per game on most platforms, and the figures are far smaller than a coaching hour. First, 1) on E-Pal, 12 Valorant provider cards showed a single price per game from Buff 2.00 to Buff 9.00, with a median of Buff 3.84, which is €3.43 at the recorded rate. Second, 2) 7 further cards showed a discount badge with two figures each, so our survey left those out rather than publish a price that depends on an offer. Third, 3) one card on the same page sold time rather than games, at 15.00 Buff per 30 minutes, which is the only time-based teammate price the survey could read anywhere. For example, a Duoly teammate game runs €1.99 for Skirmish 2v2 in Valorant up to €16.99 for Manhunt in Minecraft, before the 10% to 25% bundle discounts. Finally, two platforms charge nothing: GamerLink and GameTree both run free looking-for-group matching.

How do fees and refunds differ?

A listed price is the total on some platforms and the start of the total on others, so fees decide what you actually pay. According to the Metafy buyer fee page, checkout adds a 3.7% platform fee plus USD 1.79, capped at USD 20.00 or 30% of the total, and a 2.9% processing fee plus USD 0.40, unless a partner covers them. E-Pal publishes a 10% service fee on every wallet top-up plus a 3% to 4.5% channel fee on the web. Silhouette states companions keep 83% of a completed session, and KAKI Gaming states a 0% platform fee on regular orders. Refund wording is thinner. For example, QueueUp publishes the most of it: a full refund of up to USD 35.00 after a first paid session, a refund when a coach does not show, and a free intro of 10 to 15 minutes. WeCoach advertises a free first intro with participating coaches. Our survey found no refund window at all on the E-Pal, Metafy or Gamer Sensei pages. Duoly adds nothing at checkout and cancels an unaccepted order after 5 minutes.

How was this survey done?

The method is a reading of public pages rather than a test of the services. First, on 10 November 2026 our survey opened the pricing, coaching or provider page of each of the 12 platforms and recorded every price shown, one row per displayed figure, with the URL and the date on each row. Second, we created no account and contacted nobody, so a logged-in price is outside this survey. Third, each row keeps the billing unit the page stated, which is why 69 of 97 rows reach the hourly median. For example, a USD 44.99 package with no stated duration stays a session and never becomes an hour. Finally, euro figures use one rate, 1 euro to 1.1193 US dollars, from the European Central Bank euro reference rates of 9 November 2026, and a wallet unit converts only where the platform publishes the rate: E-Pal prices 1 Buff at USD 1.00. Duoly figures come from the pricing engine at build time.

Which prices did the survey verify?

The table below is our survey in full: 12 platforms plus Duoly, in alphabetical order, with 1) the prices we verified, 2) who sets them, 3) the published fees and 4) the published refund terms. Alphabetical order is deliberate, because any other order would be an argument rather than a result. For example, Gamer Sensei publishes three fixed packages while WeCoach publishes a rate per coach, so the two rows answer different questions. 9 of the 12 platforms answered our request at all.

Read on 10 November 2026. Prices in a wallet unit are written in that unit. Duoly prices come from the Duoly price list, which is generated from the pricing engine.

Which pages did the survey read?

A source list is the whole point of a price report, so every page our survey opened is listed below with the date it was read. First, each entry is a first-party page published by the platform itself rather than a roundup written about it. Second, the 3 pages that answered with HTTP 403 are listed anyway, because a reader deserves to know which pages we tried and failed to read. Third, the European Central Bank euro reference rates entry is the 1.1193 rate every euro figure here is converted at. For example, 96% of the hourly rates came from the two WeCoach rosters and the other 4% from the Metafy session list, so three pages rebuild the USD 25.00 median.

What does this survey not show?

A price survey of one day is a snapshot, and five limits matter before anyone quotes it. First, the hourly median leans on one platform: 96% of the 69 hourly rates are WeCoach coach cards, because almost nobody else publishes a rate per hour openly. Second, provider-set prices change whenever the provider likes, so 10 November 2026 is one reading rather than a trend. Third, these are listed prices rather than totals paid: our survey ran no checkout anywhere, so the fee column describes published fees instead of measured ones, and no figure includes tax. For example, a Metafy session listed at USD 25.00 reaches a buyer at more than USD 25.00 once the stated 3.7% and 2.9% fees land. Fourth, an HTTP 403 describes our access rather than the platform: the 3 pages that answered that way run bot protection that a scripted reader trips, and a person opening the same URL in a browser may well see prices. Finally, a price says nothing about quality: this survey measures no coaching outcome, no rank change and no satisfaction. Unknown here means we could not establish it on a public page on 10 November 2026.

Where can you download the data?

The dataset is a CSV at duoly.gg/reports/gaming-coaching-and-teammate-prices-2026.csv, generated at build time from the same data file this page renders from. First, it carries one line per observation our survey recorded, 97 of them from the platforms plus the Duoly rows out of the pricing engine, and every line names its source URL and the date it was read. Second, the amount column keeps the figure the page showed and amount_eur converts it at the one recorded rate of 1.1193, so the USD 25.00 median and the €22.34 conversion can both be rebuilt in a spreadsheet. Third, quote any figure with a link to this page and the check date, or go straight to the source page named in the row. For example, filtering billing_unit to hour and currency to USD gives the 69 rates behind the median, of which 17% sit under USD 20.00.
