I looked quickly at some online master offering and you are exactly describing the struggle.

Some places seem to charge an enormous amount of money (>40k$) and some other a fairly small amount of money (<5k$).

Unrelated to the price, some are simply a glorified version of a Coursera MOOC with a non personalized experience while some other seem to offer a lot of 1:1 and side project opportunities directly with the TAs and teachers.

This field is in full revolution, but it feels like a lot of universities see this as an easy way to get a couple thousands extra dollar for only posting the lecture videos online.
