Gradingly alternatives: what each one actually states about itself

What it does better than Reach120

It covers the Duolingo English Test, PTE Academic, IELTS, OET and Cambridge exams alongside the TOEFL test, and it ships native apps on the App Store and Google Play. Reach120 does neither: one exam, and nothing in either app store today. If you are keeping two or three admissions options open, or you study mostly on a phone, that is a real advantage and it is theirs.

Free access, as their page states it

The TOEFL page states "free unlimited practice for every 2026 question type" and, in its FAQ, "You can practice every TOEFL question type for free with no limits and no credit card." Mock tests beyond the first and "advanced AI feedback on speaking and writing" are stated to need a subscription.

Price, as their page stated it

Withdrawn on 2026-08-20. This page republishes a competitor's price for 14 days after reading it, and Arno's was last read on 2026-08-06, so the figure is no longer stated here rather than shown stale. Their own page, linked in the sources below, states the current price.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

Four of the six are named on the TOEFL page, in its feature list and its FAQ: Complete the Words, Listen and Repeat, Take an Interview and Academic Discussion. Build a Sentence and Write an Email are named nowhere on it, and the page’s own summary of the exam describes the writing section as one task — "Academic Discussion: write a discussion board post in 10 minutes". That is what the page states. It is not evidence that the product behind the login omits them, and this table never treats an unnamed task as a missing feature.

Check before you buy

Three things the public pages do not settle. What separates the bottom of the stated "$12–$24/month" range from the top, and on what term, since there is no pricing page. Whether the writing practice you need is in there: that page’s exam summary names one writing task, while the 2026 format ETS documents also has Build a Sentence and Write an Email. And the pages carry self-reported user counts and named student results, which this page restates none of — an unaudited number is not evidence, ours included.

What it does better than Reach120

Three things, plainly. Its Writing and Speaking answers are stated to be read by human evaluators against the rubric, where Reach120 scores with a model — a person reading your response is a different product, not a worse one, and it is the thing a model cannot substitute for. It publishes 45 structured lessons that teach the method behind each 2026 task type, which Reach120 does not have in any form. And it takes payment through Razorpay as well as PayPal, so a card that fails one gateway can go through the other, which matters in more countries than a single-processor checkout admits.

Free access, as their page states it

Two pages of the same site state different things, both read on 2026-08-06. The pricing page states "The first test in every section and the first full test are free, with full expert feedback on Speaking and Writing", its FAQ counting "Five free starter tests in total ... No card required", plus the first lesson of each of the four courses free to read. The "How We Evaluate" page states "Completely Free. Always.", "All 34 practice tests across every section and difficulty level — no paywalls, no trial periods" and "Ad-Supported ... No subscriptions. No hidden charges." Both sentences are published; this row picks neither, because the page that takes payment and the page that describes the service disagree and only one of them charges you.

Price, as their page stated it

Withdrawn on 2026-08-20. This page republishes a competitor's price for 14 days after reading it, and TOEFLMock's was last read on 2026-08-06, so the figure is no longer stated here rather than shown stale. Their own page, linked in the sources below, states the current price.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

All six are named on the homepage. Its FAQ describes Reading as "Complete the Words ... Read in Daily Life ... and Academic Passages", Writing as "Build a Sentence (10 items ...), Write an Email ... and Academic Discussion", and Speaking as "Listen & Repeat (7 items ...)" and "Take an Interview (4 pre-recorded video questions ...)"; the lesson catalogue names each of the six again. That is the page naming them; no account was created to watch them run.

Check before you buy

Four things its own pages do not settle. Whether it is free at all: the pricing page sells three subscriptions and counts five free starter tests, while the How We Evaluate page states the service is free always and ad-supported — settle it at checkout rather than from either page. How long feedback takes: the same site states under 30 minutes, 1–2 hours and 24–48 hours across four sentences. What "the same band ETS would give" rests on: the site publishes its criteria and its task-score-to-band table, which is more than most publish, but no comparison against real score reports, and no third party has access to ETS’s scoring engines. And the renewal terms: every tier auto-renews and payments are stated non-refundable outside billing errors.

What it does better than Reach120

Three things. It prepares you for the IELTS — Academic and General — in the same account as the TOEFL test, which Reach120 does not do at all. It publishes three tools that need no account, where Reach120’s equivalent surfaces are newer and fewer. And it prices in Indian rupees as well as dollars, which is a real difference for the market both products sell into hardest; Reach120 bills in one currency.

Free access, as their page states it

A "Trial Pack" listed at "FREE", stating "Limited credits" and "Limited access" alongside "Instant Grading with AI" and "Limited Writing & Speaking Insights". The page states "Free credits on sign-up. No credit card required." What "limited" equals is not stated as a number anywhere we read. Separately, three tools on https://gabble.ai/tools are headed "Try Gabble’s AI-powered tools — no account required": an IELTS band calculator, a TOEFL score calculator and a college finder.

Price, as their page stated it

Withdrawn on 2026-08-20. This page republishes a competitor's price for 14 days after reading it, and Gabble's was last read on 2026-08-06, so the figure is no longer stated here rather than shown stale. Their own page, linked in the sources below, states the current price.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

None of the six 2026 task types is named on any Gabble page we could read, so no cell can be filled. What the TOEFL page names instead is the writing pair the January 2026 format retired — "Integrated & Independent tasks", under a heading stating "Both writing task types are fully supported" — and the pre-2026 speaking rubric, "Delivery, Language Use, and Topic Development". The same page carries a badge reading "iBT 2026 · Format covered", and its footer links a "TOEFL 2026 Prep" page at https://gabble.ai/toefl-2026 which answered 200 with the body "Page not Found!" on 2026-08-06. Both readings are recorded because the site states both; neither is evidence about what runs behind the login.

Check before you buy

Three things its pages do not settle. What "Limited credits" equals — no number is published, so the free pack cannot be compared with anyone’s allowance. Which writing tasks you actually get: the page advertises Integrated and Independent writing, and those are the tasks the format retired on January 21, 2026, while the same page states it covers the 2026 format. And its TOEFL score calculator computes a total "out of 120", the scale official reports stopped using on that date. The page also carries a self-reported student count, a star rating and six named testimonials with score jumps; this page restates none of them, ours included — an unaudited number is not evidence.

What it does better than Reach120

Its front door is more generous than ours, and plainly so: ten minutes of real tasks across all four sections, an estimated band per section and a study plan, with no signup form and no card — where an anonymous Reach120 visitor gets 1 AI-scored writing response a day. It also states unlimited AI grading on every paid term against our metered free tier and fair-use ceiling, offers a 14-day money-back guarantee on a first purchase, and sells a one-week term for people sitting the test next Saturday, which Reach120 does not offer.

Free access, as their page states it

A free diagnostic rather than a free tier, and it is unusually open: "Free · 10 minutes · No signup form", running "short forms of the real tasks in all four sections" and returning "an estimated band for each section, your weakest task types, and a study plan built from your result". The page states you "see your result before paying anything".

Price, as their page stated it

Withdrawn on 2026-08-20. This page republishes a competitor's price for 14 days after reading it, and TOEFL Exam Prep's was last read on 2026-08-06, so the figure is no longer stated here rather than shown stale. Their own page, linked in the sources below, states the current price.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

Five of the six are named in the section describing what the product grades: "AI-graded Speaking — Listen-and-Repeat and Interview tasks", "AI-graded Writing — Email and Academic Discussion tasks", and "Instant Reading & Listening — Complete-the-Words, academic and daily-life passages, announcements, talks, and conversations". Build a Sentence is the weaker cell and is marked as named on a thinner basis: it appears in their FAQ’s description of what the exam now contains, and as a "Free Build a Sentence Practice" page in their own footer, but not in that product list. We separate the two because a page describing the exam is not a page claiming to cover it — the mistake we made reading TestGlider and corrected.

Check before you buy

Three things worth checking yourself. What the struck prices mean: "$119.70" and "$478.80" are exactly three and twelve times $39.90, the monthly price our own dated notes recorded on 2026-07-30 and which the page no longer sells — so ask whether anyone was charged the figure the discount is measured from. That the guarantee excludes renewals while the weekly plan rebills every seven days. And which writing tasks you meet: the dashboard image on their homepage labels a module "Integrated Writing", a task the 2026 format retired, even though the copy around it is 2026-specific. The learner count in their headline is self-reported, so the figure itself is not restated here.

What it does better than Reach120

Its stated free allowance is more generous than ours on the axis most people care about: three AI-graded submissions a day across all four sections, pooled, against a Reach120 free account’s narrower per-lane allowances. It also bundles a prepaid official practice-test code and advertises a test-registration discount — an economics angle Reach120 does not have and will not manufacture.

Free access, as their page states it

The homepage states free accounts get "3 daily practice submissions (shared across Writing, Speaking, Reading, and Listening)" with "Full AI grading and feedback on every submission".

Price, as their page stated it

Withdrawn on 2026-08-20. This page republishes a competitor's price for 14 days after reading it, and PrepEx's was last read on 2026-08-06, so the figure is no longer stated here rather than shown stale. Their own page, linked in the sources below, states the current price.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

The pricing page itemises task families by section, naming Complete the Words, Listen & Repeat, Take an Interview, Build a Sentence, Write an Email and Academic Discussion. That is the page naming them; we did not create an account to watch them run.

Check before you buy

The pricing page does not state whether plans renew automatically; check the terms at checkout. The credit meter is on the speaking coach, so read what a credit buys before comparing monthly prices.

What it does better than Reach120

A full-length 2026 mock at signup with no payment is a bigger free first sitting than Reach120 hands an anonymous visitor, whose free scored volume is metered from the first response.

Free access, as their page states it

The homepage advertises a "TOEFL 2026 Free Mock Test" and "Sign Up and Get One Free TOEFL Mock Test".

Price, as their page stated it

Withdrawn on 2026-08-20. This page republishes a competitor's price for 14 days after reading it, and TestGlider's was last read on 2026-08-06, so the figure is no longer stated here rather than shown stale. Their own page, linked in the sources below, states the current price.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

The homepage lists 2026 features — adaptive Reading and Listening, a "New 6-point evaluation", real-life task content and faster score turnaround. Read carefully, those describe the exam ETS now runs, not TestGlider’s own grading, so nothing on that list can be counted as their task coverage. We flag it because the same list is easy to misread as a product claim, and we misread it ourselves in an earlier internal note.

Check before you buy

Because the price is not readable without loading their app, get the term and the renewal behaviour in writing before paying.

What it does better than Reach120

Two things, both clearly: a full refund within seven days "for any reason", which is more generous than Reach120’s conditional window, and a taught course with lessons rather than a practice-and-feedback system. If you want to be taught the test rather than drilled on it, that is a real difference.

Free access, as their page states it

A trial rather than a free tier: "Try Magoosh for 7 days with no commitment".

Price, as their page stated it

Withdrawn on 2026-08-20. This page republishes a competitor's price for 14 days after reading it, and Magoosh's was last read on 2026-08-06, so the figure is no longer stated here rather than shown stale. Their own page, linked in the sources below, states the current price.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

The page makes a whole-product statement — "The TOEFL changed on January 21, 2026, and our content is fully updated for the new test format" — without naming individual 2026 task types, so no task cell can be filled from it.

Check before you buy

The guarantee is stated in points, which is the unit of the retired 0–120 report; official reports have used 1–6 bands since January 21, 2026. Ask how it is applied to a current score report before relying on it.

What it does better than Reach120

It publishes the credit cost of each individual action, which is the most transparent metering statement in this set — you can work out what a month of practice will actually cost you before paying. Reach120 does not price actions that way, so there is nothing equivalent to compare against.

Free access, as their page states it

Not stated on the pricing page as read. The page offers a "Start Free Practice" button without describing what the free tier includes.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

Only two of the six are named on the pricing page, inside the credit-cost list. The others may well be covered elsewhere on the site; this table records what the page we read stated, not what exists.

Work the credit arithmetic for your own study plan: at the stated costs, a full practice test consumes a large share of a Plus allowance.

What it does better than Reach120

We cannot say, and will not guess. A product whose pages we could not read gets no assessment from us in either direction — including a negative one. The absence of a list of strengths here is missing evidence, not a verdict, and we are not restating what other review sites say about it either.

Free access, as their page states it

Not readable on the date this page was published.

Price, as their page stated it

Both https://www.bestmytest.com/toefl/pricing and https://www.bestmytest.com/toefl answered HTTP 403 to our requests on 2026-08-06. Our own rule forbids republishing a price we could not re-verify today, so this page states no BestMyTest price, free allowance or feature as fact.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No coverage cell can be filled: the pages that would state which 2026 task types are covered did not load for us. An empty table here means missing evidence, never a missing feature.

Check before you buy

Open their pricing page in your own browser — a normal browser session may well be served where our request was not — and check the term, the renewal behaviour and whether the material names the 2026 task types before paying.

What it does better than Reach120

It is made by the organisation that writes the test. Official practice questions are the real thing rather than anybody’s reconstruction of it, its material is the only material that can settle a question about the format, and its sample test is stated to be accessible to screen readers. Nothing Reach120 publishes can substitute for that authority, and this page does not pretend otherwise.

Free access, as their page states it

ETS publishes free preparation material, including a sample test, on its official preparation pages. What is free and what is paid is stated there and changes; check it at the source.

Price, as their page stated it

Reach120 does not publish ETS prices, fees or product SKUs anywhere — not as a figure, not as a comparison anchor, and not converted into another currency. Using the test maker’s own price to sell an independent practice tool is a line we do not cross. Read them on ETS’s site.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No task-coverage cells are filled from ETS material. The 2026 task types are defined BY ETS — scoring their own publications against a coverage table built from third-party pages would be a category error, not a measurement.

Check before you buy

Start with the free official material and the published test specifications before buying anything anywhere — they settle format questions no third party can. Prices, inclusions and availability are on ETS’s own site; this page states none of them, deliberately.

What it does better than Reach120

One thing here outweighs everything else on this page, and it should be said before anything else is. Its page carries a trademark-licence notice — "used under license", stated rather than asserted as a partnership — and taken at face value that means the items you practice on and the rubric you are scored against come from the organisation that writes the test, not from anyone’s reconstruction of it. No independent tool can offer that calibration, Reach120 included, and no amount of careful sourcing substitutes for it. Its page also names all six current task types under the right sections and reports the scale correctly.

Free access, as their page states it

No free tier is stated on the page we read. The only no-payment offer on it is the thirty-days-risk-free banner, which is a refund or a trial rather than a standing allowance, and the page does not say which.

Price, as their page stated it

The page states: "Pricing starts at $39.99 for two weeks or $59.99 per month, with full access to every feature regardless of plan." Currency is shown as a dollar sign; the page does not name the currency, and no struck or sale price was shown on the page we read. A thirty-days-risk-free banner runs beside those plans. What a thirty-day window means next to a plan that grants two weeks of access is not stated anywhere on the page, and this row does not decide it either.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

All six are named on that one page and grouped by section the way the current format groups them: Reading as Complete the Words, Read in Daily Life and Read an Academic Passage; Writing as Build a Sentence, Write an Email and Write for an Academic Discussion; Speaking as Listen and Repeat and Take an Interview. The same page states the 1–6 band reporting correctly, down to the comparable 0–120 total official reports carry for two years — a detail no other page in this set states at all. That is the page naming them; no account was created to watch them run.

Check before you buy

Two things about the term rather than the product. The page advertises thirty days risk free beside a plan that grants two weeks of access, and never states how those interact — whether the shorter plan can be refunded past its own end, or whether the guarantee attaches only to the monthly one. Settle that at checkout. The monthly plan is priced per month, so establish whether it renews and what cancelling before the next charge takes. Separately, the 92% figure is footnoted to surveys of Study.com test-prep customers generally rather than to TOEFL takers, so read it as a statement about the company, not about this course.

What it does better than Reach120

Three things, and the first is closed to us permanently. It sells preparation and a test voucher in a single transaction, which is real money saved for anyone who has both still to buy — an angle Reach120 does not have, is barred from copying, and will not answer with something invented. It names task types across all four sections on a page you can read before paying, where several products in this set describe their material only after signup. And it prices in a named currency rather than a bare dollar sign, which sounds small until you are working out what your card will actually be charged.

Free access, as their page states it

No free tier is described on the page we read. It is a shop: it lists subscription terms and bundles and takes payment, and states no allowance attached to an account.

Price, as their page stated it

The subscription tiers are listed as "$79 USD" for one month and "$109 USD" for three months. This is one of the few pages in this set that names its currency rather than showing a bare dollar sign, and no struck or sale price was shown on the page we read. Two further bundles on the same page are deliberately NOT priced here. Each one packages a subscription with a TOEFL exam voucher, so printing a bundle price beside a subscription price would let any reader recover the test maker’s own exam fee by subtraction. Reach120 does not publish an ETS fee in any form, including one a reader can compute, so those two figures are withheld rather than shown, and the page carrying them is linked below.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

Five of the six are named, in its own list of what the product covers: Reading as "Words, Daily Text, Academic Passage", Listening as "Response Selection, Conversation, Lecture", Speaking as "Listen & Repeat, AI Interview", and Writing as "Email Writing, Sentence Building, Academic Discussion". Complete the Words is left not stated on purpose, and it is the cell most likely to be filled wrongly: the bare word "Words" is not the task’s name, and reading it as one would be us manufacturing a coverage claim the page never makes. That is the page naming them; no account was created to watch them run.

Check before you buy

Start with the claims, because they are most of the case for this product and none of them carries a method. Partner status, licensed ETS content and a 99%-plus agreement figure are asserted with no published sample, no comparison set and no date, and no third party has access to ETS’s scoring engines — ask what the figure was measured against before paying for accuracy. Then the practical part: the company’s other web addresses do not work, so check which host your account and your subscription actually live on before you buy. And read the bundle terms on their site: this page states no bundle price, so the voucher arithmetic is one you have to do there.

What it does better than Reach120

It answers the format question in both directions, which is rarer than it should be: its own pages name all six current task types AND label the superseded guides as archived rather than leaving them on sale beside them. Its Writing and Speaking feedback is written by a named kind of person — professional instructors — against the rubric, with a stated turnaround, and it sells taught group classes and full courses. Reach120 has none of that, and a model does not substitute for a teacher reading your answer. It also publishes the precision of its own estimate, as a range rather than a point, which almost nothing in this market does.

Free access, as their page states it

A free-resources page rather than a free account, and one thing about it is worth knowing before you rely on it: that page still carries pre-2026 wording, while the practice-test article beside it is explicitly built for the current format. The same site is current in one place and not in the other.

Price, as their page stated it

Courses are sold as one year of access and one is on sale as read: the Emergency Course lists "Original price was: $37.00. $29.60 Current price is: $29.60. for 1 year" at Basic and "$77.60" at Premium, with Score Builder at "$157.60 for 1 year", the Complete Test Pack at "$71.20 for 1 year" and Group Classes at "$247.00 for 1 year". Feedback is bought separately and per response: a Speaking Evaluation at "$29.00" and Writing Evaluations "starting at $27.00". Currency is shown as a dollar sign; the pages we read do not name it.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

All six are named in its own complete-practice-test article for the current format, which opens by stating "On January 21st, 2026, the TOEFL iBT test completely changed." The same site marks its superseded material instead of leaving it to sell: older guides carry an explicit "[ARCHIVED — 2026 Format Changed]" label. That is the page naming them; no account was created to watch them run.

Check before you buy

Two things about what you are buying and one about the site. The access is a licence with an end date: a course expires one year after purchase and evaluation credits are stated to expire in three months, so this is a clock rather than an asset — buy it when you are ready to use it, not when it is discounted. The evaluations are priced per response, so count how many you actually need before comparing them against anyone’s monthly plan. And the free-resources page still advertises pre-2026 wording, so check the date on anything you take from it against the format you are sitting.

What it does better than Reach120

It states the plainest non-renewal terms in this set — one charge, in those words, with no subscription to remember to cancel — and it sells a lifetime tier, which Reach120 does not offer in any form. Its Speaking and Writing responses are graded by people rather than scored by a model, and it puts a full refund behind a measured score increase. Reach120 will never offer a score guarantee of any kind, so that is a real difference and it belongs to them.

Free access, as their page states it

Not stated on the pages we read. Neither page describes a free account or a standing allowance, so this row states none rather than assuming one exists somewhere else on the site.

Price, as their page stated it

Two plans are listed — "$187" for one-year access and "$385" for unlimited lifetime access — and the page states plainly: "You will be charged only one time for any paid plan." Currency is shown as a dollar sign; the page does not name it, and no struck or sale price was shown on the page we read.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell can be filled, and the reason is worth stating precisely rather than as an accusation. Neither page names any of the six task types the January 2026 format introduced. What their own explanation of the test’s structure names is the format that was retired: posted September 3, 2017 and carrying no later update, it states "For this section, you must write two essays (an Integrated essay and an Independent essay) within 50 minutes", that the Speaking section has "six tasks", and that "The TOEFL iBT is a four-hour, computerized test with four sections". The date and the content are the finding together — neither is one on its own — and neither is evidence about what sits inside the paid course.

Check before you buy

Three things. The guarantee is stated in points, the unit of the 0–120 report that official scores stopped using on January 21, 2026 — so ask how a 15-point increase is computed against a rescaled test at all, and what proof of a prior official score it requires, before buying on the strength of it. The feedback is metered by a fixed number of submissions rather than by time, so count what you need instead of comparing plan lengths. And their own explanation of the test’s structure still describes the retired format, so ask what inside the course was rebuilt for the current one and what was not.

What it does better than Reach120

It is a different kind of product and the things a book does better are real ones. It needs no account, no subscription and no connection; it can be annotated, lent, resold, or carried into a room with no signal; and the page rests it on decades of test-preparation publishing and on professionally written items, which is a discipline neither Reach120 nor most of this set works in. Kaplan also teaches this exam in actual classrooms through Kaplan International, which no software in this comparison offers at all.

Free access, as their page states it

Not applicable in the shape the other rows use. This is a book, not an account: the page states no free allowance, and there is nothing on it to hold one.

Price, as their page stated it

Kaplan publishes no price for this product on its own page. The only purchase path there is two Buy on Amazon buttons, and a figure on the far side of one of those is a third-party retailer’s: it moves without Kaplan touching anything, differs by edition and format, and we did not read it on 2026-08-24. So this page states no Kaplan price rather than borrowing a retailer’s or inventing one.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell can be filled. The product is sold under a 2026 title and the page names not one of the six task types the January 2026 format introduced; what it describes is a book, by section and by inclusion rather than by task. A book we did not open is not a book we can score, and a year in a title is not evidence about the contents.

Check before you buy

The mismatch is the thing to check, not the book. Kaplan publishes no price for it on its own page and the only purchase path there is two Buy on Amazon buttons, so what you pay is a retailer’s figure and it moves without Kaplan touching anything. There is no Speaking or Writing evaluation in this product, so if what you need is somebody scoring your responses, this is not that purchase — a book and a scored practice system are not substitutes for each other. It is sold under a 2026 title while the page names no 2026 task type, so read the contents listing at the retailer against the six task types first. And if you came looking for a Kaplan course rather than a book, note that /test-prep-courses answered 404 on the date we read the site.

What it does better than Reach120

One thing, and nothing else in this comparison set states a pronunciation feature of any kind, ours included. It diagnoses pronunciation at the level of individual sounds and tells you which ones to move, which is the speech-motor problem that quietly caps a Speaking delivery score however good the content is. Reach120 can tell you delivery was the weak dimension in a response; it cannot tell you which vowel you are producing wrong, and no comparison table should hide that this product can.

Free access, as their page states it

Not stated in any form we can quote. The pricing page answered 404, and what is free against what is paid is described in an app-store listing rather than on the site — where it varies by storefront.

Price, as their page stated it

https://elsaspeak.com/en/pricing answered HTTP 404 on 2026-08-24, so ELSA publishes no rate card we could read. The only prices visible to us are in-app purchase tiers in an app-store listing, and those differ by storefront, currency and promotion — a figure that changes with the reader’s country is not one this page can state as a fact, so it states none.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell is filled, and one of them deserves an explicit note because it is the cell most likely to be filled wrongly. ELSA’s own English homepage never names this exam at all: the exams it names are CEFR, IELTS and TOEIC. The TOEFL name appears only in its app-store description, and only as a mapping — an overall speaking score converted onto exam scales — never as practice of a task. Its interview coaching is general spoken-English interview practice; marking Take an Interview as named on the strength of the word "interview" would be us inventing a coverage claim the provider has never made.

Check before you buy

Be clear about what you are buying, because a mapped number is easy to misread. ELSA reports a speaking score converted onto exam scales; that is a conversion of its own measurement, not a rubric score for a TOEFL Speaking task, and none of the 2026 task types is practiced in it. Its interview feature is general interview practice rather than the exam’s Take an Interview task. So if listeners cannot follow your pronunciation, this addresses that directly and nothing else in this set does; if you do not yet know how a 2026 task is answered, it is the wrong purchase. Prices are set per app store, so read the tier in your own storefront rather than any figure quoted elsewhere.

What it does better than Reach120

Two things, and the first is not something Reach120 can answer with a feature. It sells an hour with a person who answers back, adapts mid-sentence and can be asked why — which is the thing every model in this set is a substitute for rather than an equal of. The second is checkable and it belongs to them outright: ETS’s own TOEFL preparation page, read on 2026-08-24, links Preply by name under "More practice", stating "Connect with independent tutors at Preply® who have been trained to teach the kind of academic English that appears on the TOEFL iBT test." No independent practice tool in this set carries anything comparable, Reach120 included. It also lets you change teacher without changing product, and prices in seven currencies where Reach120 bills in one.

Free access, as their page states it

None, and the page does not pretend otherwise: the entry point is a paid trial lesson at the tutor’s own rate. What it offers instead of a free allowance is a switching guarantee — "If the first tutor isn’t a match, try 2 more for free" — and the course page states you can "switch to a different tutor for free, or claim a full refund" after the trial.

Price, as their page stated it

The tutors page states two figures and they are not the same kind of number: "Sessions with a one-to-one TOEFL tutor can start at just $3 per hour" and, further down, "classes with English tutors start at $3 per hour, and the average price is $17 per hour". The first is a floor — the cheapest hour anyone on the platform offers — and the second is what a typical hour costs, so this row prints both rather than the headline alone. The same page publishes a country breakdown for English classes: "United States of America $28 / hr", "Canada $25 / hr", "United Kingdom $30 / hr", "South Africa $20 / hr". Currency is shown as a dollar sign there; the course page shows a different currency entirely — read on 2026-08-24 it stated "Course price Starting at ₺240 per lesson", beside a switcher offering TRY, BRL, GBP, EUR, PLN, UAH and USD. What figure a reader sees depends on where they load the page from, which is worth knowing before comparing it with anyone’s fixed rate. A first-lesson discount is stated on the course page: "Apply your 20% discount on the first lesson with a qualified Preply tutor using the code “TOEFL20” at checkout."

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell can be filled, and the reason is structural rather than a lapse. Neither page names any of the six task types the January 2026 format introduced. What the course page publishes instead is a skills list — "Improve your reading comprehension for academic texts", "Enhance your listening skills for lectures and conversations", "Develop effective speaking strategies for the exam", "Master writing essays with clarity and coherence" — which describes the shape of the exam before the redesign, since the current Writing section sets no essay of that kind. Underneath that sits a syllabus card stating "Course duration 13 hours (Estimated 7 weeks, 2 lessons/week)". None of this is evidence about what an individual tutor teaches in a lesson: on a marketplace the syllabus page and the person you book are different things, and one tutor’s own profile on the page we read advertised "Today’s and the 2026 TOEFL" in their own words.

Check before you buy

Four things, and the first is the one the headline hides. "$3 per hour" is the platform’s floor and their own page states the average is nearly six times it, so budget from the average, not the advertisement. The price you see is localised, so a figure quoted in a review written elsewhere may not be the figure you are charged. The course syllabus names none of the six 2026 task types and describes writing an essay, which the current Writing section does not set — so ask the individual tutor, before booking, what they teach for Build a Sentence, Write an Email and Academic Discussion. And what you are buying is one person, not a platform: the certificates, the counts and the ratings are the marketplace’s, while the lesson is theirs.

What it does better than Reach120

It is the exam, written by the people who write the exam, and nothing in this set substitutes for that — Reach120 least of all, since Reach120 builds from the published specifications and says so. Two full-length tests and an interactive sample cost nothing, need no account and settle any format question a third party could only guess at. The sample test is stated to be accessible to screen readers, which almost nothing else here states at all. The honest recommendation on this page is to take these first: any product that is worth paying for is worth paying for after you have used the free official material, not instead of it.

Free access, as their page states it

Exactly three items, each tile marked "Free" with a "TRY IT NOW!" button and no payment step: an "Interactive Sample", "Full-Length Practice Test 1" and "Full-Length Practice Test 2". The two full-length tests are versioned to the current exam in their own addresses — /prepare/sample-test-jan-2026-1.html and -2.html — so what is free here is current material rather than an archive. The structural fact worth more than any of the three: the supply is FIXED. There is no credit meter, no expiry and no replenishment, so the free tier ends when you have sat those tests and it does not refill.

Price, as their page stated it

Reach120 does not publish the test maker’s prices, fees or product SKUs anywhere — not as a figure, not as a range, not as a comparison anchor and not converted into another currency. That rule binds this page more tightly than most, because the preparation page we read carries paid product tiles beside the free ones: the figures were there and are withheld deliberately, not missed. Setting a free official item against a paid official item is still the test maker’s pricing doing our selling, so this page states what is free, states that other things on that page are not, and sends you to read the rest at the source.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell is filled here, and it would be a category error to fill one. The six task types in this table are defined BY the test maker; scoring the definer against a spine built from third-party pages measures nothing. The preparation page we read is a catalogue of products rather than a syllabus, and it names no individual task type — but that is a fact about that page’s job, not about coverage, and the comparison page for this row prints no coverage table rather than a row of blanks.

Check before you buy

There is nothing to buy here and that is the point, so the thing to check is the shape of what is free. It is three items deep and it does not refill, so plan when to spend them rather than opening them on the first evening. None of the three returns a scored evaluation of your own Speaking or Writing response, which is the gap every practice product in this set exists in. And note that the older addresses have been consolidated: /prepare/free-practice-test.html, /prepare/sample-test.html and /prepare/toefl-testready.html all now land on the one preparation page, so a bookmark or a third-party link may take you somewhere that no longer describes what it used to.

What it does better than Reach120

It sells the one thing no model in this set can sell: a person, chosen by you, who answers in real time and can be replaced without changing product. The choice is genuinely yours — 167 teachers were listed under the TOEFL filter on the day we read it, with published rates, published lesson counts and their own written specialisms, so you are picking a human being rather than accepting a vendor’s. The cheapest trial rates on that page sit below what any subscription in this set charges for a month. And because the sellers are independent, some of them prepare candidates for this exam full time and have done for years; Reach120 offers no human review of any response, at any price.

Free access, as their page states it

None is stated. The entry point is a paid trial lesson, priced by the teacher, and the listing offers no allowance, no free session and no unpaid diagnostic.

Price, as their page stated it

There is no platform price to quote, because italki does not set one: each teacher does. On the TOEFL listing read on 2026-08-24, nineteen teachers on the first page published trial-lesson rates spanning "USD 5.00 / trial" to "USD 60.00 / trial", with most between "USD 7.00" and "USD 30.00". The page names its currency explicitly rather than showing a bare dollar sign, and carries a switcher, so those are US dollars as displayed to us. A trial rate is not a lesson rate. Every figure above is what that teacher charges for a first session; what a full lesson costs is set per teacher on their own profile, and this row states none of those because they are nineteen different prices belonging to nineteen different sellers.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell can be filled, and no cell should be: the six task types would have to be scored against 167 independent sellers, which is not a thing a table can honestly do. What the page itself states is another matter and it is checkable. Its own TOEFL FAQ, read on 2026-08-24, answers "How is the TOEFL test scored?" with "The TOEFL test is scored on a scale of 0 to 120, with each section (Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing) contributing a maximum of 30 points", and recommends "a collective score of 100 (25 scores for each section)". Official score reports stopped using that scale on January 21, 2026. That is the marketplace’s own guidance copy being out of date; it is not evidence about any teacher on it, several of whom advertise the current format in their own profiles.

Check before you buy

Vet the individual, not the marketplace — the counts, the badges and the ratings belong to the platform while the lesson belongs to one person, and quality on any marketplace is a distribution rather than a level. Do not take format guidance from the site’s own copy: its TOEFL FAQ still describes the retired 0–120 scale, so ask the teacher directly what they know about the January 2026 tasks before booking. And read a trial price as a trial price: the figures published on the listing are first-session rates, not what an hour will cost you in week three.

What it does better than Reach120

Three things, and two of them are closed to Reach120 permanently. It is a named teacher with a seventeen-year public record on one exam, which is a different kind of accountability from a vendor’s brand — the person who teaches the class is the person whose name is on the site. It sells live classes and one-to-one tutoring, so a question gets answered in the room rather than through a rubric. And it publishes dozens of student stories with names, section scores, dates and fields of study, where Reach120 publishes no learner outcomes at all: it holds no consented testimonial corpus, so it has nothing of the kind to show and does not manufacture one.

Free access, as their page states it

Not stated on the page we read. The homepage offers a "Click here to get started!" path and a catalogue of paid classes, and describes no free allowance, sample class or unpaid diagnostic.

Price, as their page stated it

NoteFull publishes no price on the page we read on 2026-08-24. The class catalogue lists dozens of courses and tutoring blocks by name and length and attaches a figure to none of them, and the guarantee at the top of the site routes to a partner site under a different brand. This is a decision the provider made rather than a page we could not read, so it is recorded as unpublished rather than as unreadable — the two are different facts, and the difference is the reader’s.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell can be filled. None of the six task types the January 2026 format introduced is named anywhere on the homepage, and the string "2026" does not appear on it at all. Two dated observations sit beside that and are worth more than the absence: the class catalogue on that page runs to dozens of entries and the most recent one it advertises is "8 Hrs Morning TOEFL Listening: Sep ’25", and every published student result on it is quoted on the retired per-section 0–30 scale, the most recent dated February 2024. That is what the homepage states on the date we read it. It is not evidence about what is taught in a class booked today, and this row does not treat it as any.

Check before you buy

Three things, and the first is about who owes you what. The score guarantee advertised at the top of the site is not NoteFull’s own — the banner routes it to "TOEFL Max on Our Partner Site Dream Trainer" — so establish which company the promise binds, and on what terms, before treating it as NoteFull’s. No price appears on the page, so get the figure, the schedule and the refund terms in writing rather than from a booking flow. And the catalogue’s most recent dated class predates the January 2026 format change, so ask plainly which of the six current task types the class covers and when the material was rebuilt.

What it does better than Reach120

Three things, and the first two are about honesty rather than features, which makes them rarer in this set than any feature. It states the limit of its own accuracy claim without being asked — "It does not guarantee your official score" sits in the same sentence as the claim itself — where several products here assert an agreement figure and stop. And it publishes an unprompted non-affiliation statement in its own FAQ, at a moment when other providers in this census are advertising partnership with the test maker. On features: it does one section deeply, returning per-task subscores on the 0–5 scale, a word-by-word marked transcript, a flagged-phrase list and a full model rewrite, and it prints a per-test unit price on every tier so a month of practice can be costed before purchase. Reach120 does none of those four things at that depth for Speaking.

Free access, as their page states it

One scored test, stated plainly: "your first full Speaking test is scored free, no card", returning "a band score, subscores, a marked transcript, and a model rewrite". The page repeats the terms as "First score free · No credit card · No spam". It is a first sitting rather than a standing allowance — nothing recurs.

Price, as their page stated it

Three monthly plans, each stating its own per-test unit price: "Casual Starter $15 /mo" for "10 tests / mo · $1.50 each" and "20 credits monthly"; "Serious prep Pro $26 /mo" for "20 tests / mo · $1.30 each" and "40 credits monthly"; "Intensive Power $50 /mo" for "50 tests / mo · $1.00 each" and "100 credits monthly". Currency is shown as a dollar sign; the page does not name it, and no struck or sale price was shown on the page we read. Every tier is stated to include "All task types & full AI feedback" and "Voice Coach access", so the plans differ by volume rather than by feature — which is the reverse of most of this set and makes the per-test figure the number to compare.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

Two of the six are named and the other four are absent by design rather than by omission — this product sells TOEFL Speaking and nothing else, and says so in its own name. Under the heading "Current iBT Speaking" the page lists "Listen & Repeat — Hear a sentence, reproduce it precisely. Scored 0–5" and "Interview — Give a spoken opinion with clear reasons. Scored 0–5", and describes practicing "authentic Listen & Repeat and Interview prompts from the current TOEFL iBT Speaking format". It writes the second one as "Interview" rather than "Take an Interview"; the cell is filled because the page frames both as the current Speaking section’s tasks and the current Speaking section has exactly those two, not because the word matched. Marking the four Reading and Writing cells as gaps would misread a scope boundary as a shortfall.

Check before you buy

Three things, in order of how much they can cost you. Credits do not roll over, so a month where work or illness stops you studying is a month you have paid for and lost — if you prepare in bursts rather than evenly, price the one-time credits against the subscription before choosing. This is Speaking only and deliberately so, which makes it a component of a study plan rather than a study plan; you will need something else for Reading, Listening and Writing. And "benchmarked on human-rated samples" carries no sample size, no comparison set and no date on the page we read, so read it as a statement of method rather than of measured agreement.

What it does better than Reach120

Its free first sitting is larger than the one Reach120 gives an anonymous visitor, and it is larger in the way that matters: a complete simulated iBT across all four sections, "42 questions, ~2 hours", in a timed or a save-and-resume mode, with no card. Two whole modules — Grammar and Vocabulary — are badged free on top of that, and the page publishes an approximate session length for each section so you can plan a week before signing up. Its coverage grid also names every current task type individually and badges each one, which is a more checkable claim than the whole-product "updated for 2026" sentence most of this set publishes.

Free access, as their page states it

Unusually wide for a product with no published price, and stated in four separate places: "Set 1 easy Speaking + Writing AI-graded free"; "First full-length TOEFL Practice Exam is completely free, all four sections, modeled on the real iBT" with "No card required"; the Grammar and Vocabulary modules each badged "Free"; and, on the AI grader, "one free task per section to try Eppy before subscribing". The word "subscribing" is the only indication anywhere on the page that a paid tier exists.

Price, as their page stated it

PrepDrills publishes no paid price on any surface we could read on 2026-08-24. Its pricing route answered HTTP 404, the marketing page mentions "subscribing" exactly once and never states what a subscription costs, and the only offer written into the page’s own structured data is a free tier at zero. The page loaded in full, so this is a publishing decision rather than a failed fetch, and it is recorded as such.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

All six are named on that one page, individually badged, in a grid headed "Every 2026 task type, every section": Reading lists "Complete the Words" and "Read in Daily Life" as 2026 tasks; Listening lists "Choose a Response"; Speaking lists "Listen and Repeat" and "Take an Interview"; Writing lists "Build a Sentence", "Write an Email" and "Academic Discussion". Two things about the same grid are worth recording rather than smoothing over. It also lists "Integrated Speaking" — but badged "Core skill", not "2026 task", which is a distinction the page itself draws and this row keeps. And its structured data claims "All 12 new 2026 task types", a count the visible grid does not support. That is the page naming them; no account was created to watch them run.

Check before you buy

Three things, and none of them is about the practice. There is no paid price anywhere: /pricing/ answered 404 on 2026-08-24 and the only offer in the page’s own structured data is a "Free Tier" at zero, so what you would eventually pay is not knowable before you are inside the product. The app you sign in to sits on a different host and under a different name — toefl.prepdrills.com, branded "EPIC Prep" — so check you are buying from who you think you are. And the five-star rating on that page is self-published: the page’s own markup carries an aggregate rating of 5.0 over six reviews written into the page itself, not gathered on an independent platform. This row restates no rating of theirs, and Reach120 publishes none of its own either.

What it does better than Reach120

It is an institution rather than an application, and the things institutions do better are real. There are live instructors, private tutoring and classrooms behind this name, plus an enrolment advisor and a student-support line with published opening hours — a human infrastructure that no software in this comparison has at all, Reach120 emphatically included. It teaches across a dozen other exams, so a candidate sitting the TOEFL test now and a graduate admissions test next year deals with one organisation. And it carries published guarantees and school and district partnerships, which matter to buyers purchasing on behalf of someone else.

Free access, as their page states it

None is stated for this exam on the pages we read. The site advertises "Free Tests & Events" in its navigation for the SAT, ACT, MCAT, LSAT, GRE and GMAT lines; the TOEFL line carries "Programs", "Tutoring" and "About TOEFL", and no free offering.

Price, as their page stated it

Two separate reasons, and both belong on the page. Princeton Review publishes no price for its own TOEFL courses or tutoring on the pages we read on 2026-08-24 — enrolment runs through an advisor telephone number, and the self-guided course page renders an add-to-cart control with no product copy and no figure beside it. Separately, there ARE currency figures on those pages, and every one of them is the test maker’s own exam fee quoted in their Quick Facts table. Reach120 does not publish that fee in any form, including a range, including as a comparison anchor, and including as somebody else’s quotation of it — so those figures are withheld here deliberately, and their page is linked below for anyone who wants them.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell can be filled, and what stands in place of the six is the strongest dated finding in this tranche. Their own TOEFL information page, read on 2026-08-24, publishes a "TOEFL Quick Facts" panel stating "Duration 4 hours, 30 minutes", "Sections 4 sections" and "Max. Score 120", and answers "How is the TOEFL scored?" with "Your composite (or overall) TOEFL score will range from 0 to 120 and is calculated by combining your TOEFL scores on each of the four sections. The individual sections are graded separately. You will receive four TOEFL scores ranging from 0 to 30". The exam those sentences describe stopped running on January 21, 2026: the current test is shorter and official reports carry 1–6 bands. That is what their public pages state on the date we read them. It is not evidence about what an instructor teaches in a course, and this row does not treat it as any.

Check before you buy

Four things, and the first is the one that decides whether the rest matter. Their own public TOEFL pages describe the retired format — a four-and-a-half-hour test scored to 120 — so ask the enrolment advisor directly which format the course teaches, when the material was rebuilt, and to send that in writing. No course price is published anywhere on those pages, so establish the figure, what is included and the cancellation terms before the call ends. Two of their TOEFL landing pages, /k12/toefl-test-prep and /k12/toefl-tutoring-course, no longer resolve to themselves and answered from the site’s homepage instead on the date we read them, so make sure the product you are quoted is the product you thought you were reading about. And their self-guided course page renders no curriculum and no price at all, only an add-to-cart control — do not buy from it without a description in hand.

What it does better than Reach120

One thing outweighs the rest and it is a genuine advantage over Reach120 in Reach120’s own second-largest market. It sells live one-to-one lessons with teachers to Turkish candidates in Turkish, with a Turkish support line on the page, a local company presence and a study plan built with a person rather than generated. Reach120 publishes in six languages but sells one product with no human teaching in it, and a candidate who wants to be taught — in their own language, by someone they can telephone — is not being served by any software in this set. It also runs its own teacher-matching rather than handing you a directory to sort through.

Free access, as their page states it

Not stated on the pages we read. The path offered instead is a study plan and a teacher match — "Get Your Study Plan", "Match with Your Expert" — neither of which is described as free or as costing anything.

Price, as their page stated it

Flalingo publishes no price in either language we read on 2026-08-24. Its English pricing route answered HTTP 404, its "Prices" navigation item points at an on-page anchor rather than a rate card, and the served text of both the English TOEFL page and the English homepage contained no currency amount of any kind — no lira, dollar, euro or pound figure anywhere. The pages loaded fully, so this is what the provider chose to publish rather than what we failed to read, and the purchase path they offer instead is a telephone number.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell can be filled, and what the page names instead is the thing to record. Its third feature block is headed "Integrated Tasks" and promises mastery of the "unique integrated speaking and writing tasks" on the TOEFL test "with expert teacher guidance", and its FAQ doubles down: "Do you prepare for TOEFL iBT specifically? Yes! Our program is designed specifically for the TOEFL iBT format, including all integrated task types." Integrated writing is not on the exam any more — it went with the January 21, 2026 redesign — and none of the six task types that replaced it is named anywhere on the page. Its own headline outcome figures are on the retired scale too — a typical result given as "100+", and "87%" of students said to hit their target — and the FAQ adds "Most achieve 100+ on the TOEFL iBT". That is what their page states on the date we read it, in both languages we checked; it is not evidence about what a teacher covers in a lesson.

Check before you buy

Three things, and the first is checkable in a minute on their own page. It advertises "Integrated Tasks" as a feature and its FAQ says the program covers "all integrated task types" — that task family was removed from the exam on January 21, 2026, so ask which of the six current task types the lessons actually cover before paying for a package. The outcome figures are on the retired 0–120 scale and are self-reported with no sample or period attached. And no price is published in either language we read: /en/pricing answered 404, the "Prices" navigation item points to an on-page anchor, and neither the English nor the Turkish page carried a single currency amount — so the figure arrives only on a phone call, which makes it hard to compare with anything before you are in the conversation.

What it does better than Reach120

Three things, plainly. All four of its full practice tests are stated to be teacher graded, with "correct answer review, explanation, and model answers" — a person reading your work is not a worse product than a model reading it, it is a different one, and Reach120 offers no human review at any price. The commercial shape is the plainest in this set: one figure, one term, no renewal to remember, and a thirty-day money-back guarantee. And its drill bank is bigger than anything Reach120 hands you in a single purchase, at a stated 2,400 items for reading and listening on top of the tests. It has also traded under the same name since 1997, which is not a quality claim but is a different risk profile from a six-month-old application.

Free access, as their page states it

A free practice test rather than a free account, and it asks for something: the page states "TestDEN’s online TOEFL Practice exam takes about 30 minutes and contains reading, listening, and writing questions", behind a form requesting a name, an email address and a country. It is one sitting, not an allowance, and it does not include the Speaking section.

Price, as their page stated it

One price, no tiers and no subscription: "Your price: $129" for the TOEFL Practice Course, stated on the same card as "180 day access" and "30 day money back guarantee". Currency is shown as a dollar sign; the page does not name it, and no struck or sale price was shown on the page we read.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell can be filled: none of the six task types the January 2026 format introduced is named on any page we read. What the course page publishes instead is an inventory by count — "4 TOEFL practice tests", "320" questions, "Yes, teacher graded"; a "Speaking and Writing Training" module at "60 speaking" and "20 writing" with model answers; and a "TOEFL Skills Trainer" of "2,400" items for reading and listening. Its own preparation page dates its description of the exam explicitly, warning against material "that’s too old" and then stating that the second Writing task "has changed to (as of July 26, 2023) writing a response to an online" discussion. That is the previous revision, and January 2026 is not mentioned anywhere on the pages we read. Unlike two other rows in this set, it does not sell the retired Integrated and Independent labels — it is dated rather than mislabelled, and those are different faults.

Check before you buy

Three things, and the format is the first. Their own preparation page dates its account of the test to the July 2023 revision and never mentions the January 2026 change, so ask what inside the course was rebuilt for the current format and what was not — the drill bank for reading and listening may well travel better than the writing material. The 180 days is a clock rather than an asset, so buy it when you are ready to use it. And the value here is the human grading and the model answers, so confirm the turnaround on a graded test before paying: the pages we read state that the tests are teacher graded and do not state how long grading takes.

What it does better than Reach120

Three things. Its commercial shape is plainer than a subscription and it repeats the terms rather than burying them: one payment, a stated duration, no auto-renewal, and a seven-day no-questions refund — where Reach120 sells passes and states a conditional refund window. Its repractice loop has no equivalent here at all: it re-serves the exact Listen & Repeat issue its scorer flagged and puts your earlier and latest attempts side by side in one timeline, which is a tighter feedback cycle than scoring a fresh response each time. And it discloses that it is one person’s work, in those words, on a public page — several products in this census present themselves as institutions and are considerably less forthcoming.

Free access, as their page states it

A standing free plan rather than a trial, and it is quantified: "Try TOEFLAIR free: 5–6 practice sets per practice type and full AI feedback, no credit card needed", which the FAQ restates as "The Free plan gives you 5–6 practice sets per practice type, full AI feedback, and 2 Listen & Repeat repractices per session."

Price, as their page stated it

Three terms, all sold as one-time purchases and all struck from the same figure: "1 Month" at "$26" struck to "$20 /month", "$20 billed once", marked "Save 23%"; "3 Months" at "$26" struck to "$17 /month", "$51 billed once", "Save 35%"; "6 Months" at "$26" struck to "$15 /month", "$90 billed once", "Save 42%". The page carries a "$ USD" selector, so it names its currency rather than showing a bare dollar sign. The renewal terms are stated in three separate places and they agree: "Pay once · No auto-renewal", "All paid plans are one-time purchases. No subscriptions, no hidden fees", and, in the FAQ, "This is a one-time payment. You pay once and get access for the selected duration. No auto-renewal, no surprise charges." The refund term is "a full refund within 7 days of purchase, no questions asked".

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

Four of the six are named in the product navigation carried on every page we read, each with its own description: "Listen & Repeat — Shadow real TOEFL sentences, line by line"; "Interview Practice — Timed speaking answers with guided prep"; "Email Writing — Reply to real academic email scenarios"; "Academic Discussion — Join the discussion with a clear stance". The middle two are written as "Interview Practice" and "Email Writing" rather than "Take an Interview" and "Write an Email"; the cells are filled because the homepage frames the set as "Pick any 2026 TOEFL task", not because the words matched. Build a Sentence and Complete the Words are left not stated, and pointedly so: routes bearing exactly those names exist at /build-a-sentence and /complete-the-words and both answered HTTP 200 with an empty three-kilobyte application shell on 2026-08-24, where the four routes above returned full prerendered pages. A route that serves nothing is not evidence of a feature in either direction.

Check before you buy

Three things, and the first is a contradiction on the page you would be buying from. Its plan cards state "Unlimited practice across all 4 sections" while a panel further down that same page states "Speaking and Writing today. Reading and Listening next"; both cannot describe what you get on the day you pay, so settle which one is current before paying for four sections. Two task routes on the site, /build-a-sentence and /complete-the-words, answered with an empty shell rather than a page, so do not assume those tasks are in the product because the addresses exist. And all three terms are struck from one identical figure, which makes every "Save" percentage a comparison against the same number — ask whether anyone was ever charged it.

What it does better than Reach120

Two things, and both are disclosure rather than features — which makes them rarer here than any feature. It publishes its free allowance as a falsifiable number, five questions per day per item type, where most of this set publishes the word "limited" and leaves you to discover the rest after signing up. And its own FAQ volunteers the limit of its scorer in its own words: "no AI can perfectly replicate human graders", printed under the question "How accurate is the AI scoring?" rather than left for a reader to infer. It also names all twelve current item types with a count beside each, badges its retired material as legacy, and states plainly that it is not affiliated with the test maker.

Free access, as their page states it

The most precisely stated free tier in this entire set, and it is worth quoting exactly because almost nobody publishes a number here: "Free tier includes per-item-type daily question limits, with a maximum of 5 questions per day per item type (subject to change)." Its FAQ adds that free users get "AI-powered feedback for speaking and writing, rapid scoring for all sections, and full access to the 2026 TOEFL format", the homepage states "No signup required for free tier", and a first mock test is stated to be "completely free, no credit card required".

Price, as their page stated it

FluentPrep’s pricing block renders the literal words "Loading prices…" in the page a request receives and fetches the amounts in the browser once a currency is chosen, so there was no figure to quote on 2026-08-24. There is no separate page to check it against either: /pricing, /plans and /pro all answered HTTP 404 on the same date. Rather than carry a figure over from anywhere else, this page states none.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

All six are named on that one page, inside an inventory headed "12 Item Types", "1300+ Practice Items", "4 TOEFL Sections", which enumerates them with a scenario count each — including the three most often left out elsewhere: Complete the Words, Read in Daily Life and Listen & Choose Response. Two notes rather than one, both about the same grid. Speaking is presented as "2 Item Types", "Listen & Repeat" and "Interview Mode"; the second cell is filled because the current Speaking section has exactly those two and the page frames them as the pair, not because the words matched. And the same grid lists "Independent Speaking" carrying an explicit "Legacy" badge — retired material labelled as retired rather than left to sell beside the current tasks, which only one other product in this set does. That is the page naming them; no account was created to watch them run.

Check before you buy

Three things. You cannot learn the price before signing in: the homepage’s pricing block renders the words "Loading prices…" and fetches the amounts in the browser once you pick a currency, and /pricing, /plans and /pro all answered 404 on 2026-08-24. The refund window is 24 hours where seven days is the norm in this category, and the page states in the same breath that purchasing waives a statutory 14-day cooling-off right — read that sentence before clicking, not after. And their homepage argues its case by quoting what other things cost, including the test maker’s own practice products; those figures are not restated on this page under any circumstances, so do the comparison on their site if you want it.

What it does better than Reach120

Three things, and the first two are about how it handles being wrong. It dates its own sourcing on the page — naming the official source it worked from and the day it last checked it — and publishes an editorial and corrections policy beside it, which is a discipline this market almost never applies to itself. It also states three times, unprompted, that its scores are unofficial estimates and its items are not the test maker’s, where several products in this census assert the opposite relationship. On features: it covers the IELTS, TOEIC and PTE Academic alongside this exam in one account and ships native mobile apps, neither of which Reach120 does at all, and its TOEFL portal prints a working sample item from each section — question, answer and reasoning — readable with no account.

Free access, as their page states it

Stated in words rather than numbers, and hedged: "Free access is available for selected activities and limits may apply." What is concretely free without an account is the sampler on the TOEFL portal itself — one worked item from each section, with the answer and the reasoning printed on the page.

Price, as their page stated it

Both https://www.englishaidol.com/pricing and the site root answered HTTP 200 on 2026-08-24 and served an application shell that assembles itself in the browser: the served text contains a note asking the reader to enable JavaScript and not one plan name, figure or metering statement. The pages that do prerender — the TOEFL portal and the app page — carry no price. So this page states no English AIdol price rather than reusing one from anywhere else.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

All six are named on the TOEFL portal, in one sentence that groups them the way the current format groups them: "Reading with Complete the Words, Read in Daily Life, and Read an Academic Passage; Listening with Choose a Response, Conversation, Announcement, and Academic Talk; Speaking with Listen and Repeat plus Take an Interview; and Writing with Build a Sentence, Write an Email, and Write for an Academic Discussion." The app page repeats five of the six independently. Worth recording because our own earlier note said otherwise: an internal pass on the same day concluded that Complete the Words appeared nowhere on this site, having checked the root and the app page but not the portal, where it appears twice — including as a working sample item. The correction is published rather than quietly applied. That is the page naming them; no account was created to watch them run.

Check before you buy

Three things, and the first is that you cannot compare it on price from outside. Its plans page and its homepage both answered with a client-rendered shell on 2026-08-24 and no figure, plan name or metering statement is present in what a request actually receives — so get the term, the allowance and the renewal behaviour in writing at checkout. The free tier is described as "selected activities" with limits that "may apply", which is not a number you can plan around. And the depth question follows from the breadth: four exams in one product means the TOEFL material competes for the same roadmap as three others, so check the volume of current-format items before assuming the coverage list implies a full bank.

What it does better than Reach120

Three things, and two of them are disclosure rather than features. It publishes exactly how many Speaking and Writing evaluations each term buys, so a reader can compute the unit cost before paying — most of this set publishes an adjective. It sells one payment with no renewal and states that purchased credits do not expire, where a subscription clock keeps running whether you study or not. And it states in its own footer that it is not endorsed or approved by the test maker, unprompted, at a moment when several products in this market are advertising the opposite relationship.

Free access, as their page states it

Described rather than counted: "We offer a free trial where you can experience our ETS standard TOEFL scoring system and basic practice content." No number of free evaluations, essays or days is attached to it anywhere we read, and the site banner advertises "Free 2026 practice" without stating what that includes.

Price, as their page stated it

Three terms, each stated as a "One-time payment" rather than a subscription: "$39" for one month, "$69" for three months against a struck "$99", and "$119" for twelve months against a struck "$199". Currency is shown as a dollar sign; the page does not name it. Two of the three are on sale as read, and the struck figures are the page’s own. What each term buys is published as a count rather than as a word, which is rarer here than it should be: one month carries "35" Speaking and "25" Writing credits, three months "90+10 BONUS" and "60+10 BONUS", twelve months "200+30 BONUS" and "120+30 BONUS". The page states credits do not expire once purchased, and that "You can request a refund within 7 days of purchase if not satisfied."

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell can be filled: neither page names any of the six task types the January 2026 format introduced. What the homepage names instead are the scales — "the ETS standard TOEFL scoring system (Speaking 0-4 scale, Writing 0-5 scale)" — and those are the per-task raw scales of the format that was retired, not the 1 to 6 band official reports have used since January 21, 2026. The page describing what it grades against is therefore describing the previous test, which is a statement about that page rather than about the material behind the login.

Check before you buy

Three things. Two of the three terms are struck from a higher figure, so ask whether anyone was ever charged the number the discount is measured from. The free trial is described without a number — no count of evaluations and no length — so you cannot size it before creating an account. And the scales the site names for its own grading, 0 to 4 for Speaking and 0 to 5 for Writing, belong to the format retired on January 21, 2026, so ask what the material and the rubric behind the login were rebuilt to before buying a twelve-month term. Separately, and not a criticism of them: wizprep.ai is not the similarly named wizeprep.com, and third-party databases merge the two.

What it does better than Reach120

Two things, and the first is not a feature Reach120 can answer with a translation. It is written and sold in Spanish as its first language — the navigation, the plan, the feedback promise and the support line — rather than being an English product with a language switcher, and for a candidate preparing in Spanish that is a materially different experience from reading about a rubric in a second language. It is also the lowest published monthly figure in this whole set, on a plan sold with no stated cap.

Free access, as their page states it

Stated on the homepage as "Practica sin límites gratis • Prueba Pro de 7 días disponible" — free practice with no stated cap, plus a seven-day trial of the paid tier. What the free tier withholds is not stated, so the boundary between free and paid is the one thing the page leaves undescribed.

Price, as their page stated it

One paid plan, "SmartPrep Plus", listed at "$10" per month. Currency is shown as a dollar sign; the page does not name it, and no struck or sale price was shown on the page we read. No annual term and no one-time option appears beside it. No refund policy is stated anywhere on the pricing page we read — not a window, not a condition. That is an absence rather than a denial, and it is the kind a reader should settle at checkout rather than assume either way.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell can be filled: neither page names any of the six task types the January 2026 format introduced, in Spanish or in English. Nor do the pre-2026 words appear — "independiente" and "integrado" are both absent — so this is a site that describes its product by outcome rather than by task, and no coverage claim of any kind can be read off it in either direction.

Check before you buy

Three things, and the middle one is the serious one. First, "Exámenes ilimitados" carries no published fair-use ceiling, so establish what happens at volume before planning a month of daily practice around it. Second, the site states its model was trained on "miles de respuestas reales de examen" — thousands of real exam responses — and explains nowhere how responses to a live secure exam were lawfully obtained, whose they were, or whether consent was given; that is a question worth asking before handing over your own. And third, no company name, registered entity or country appears on either page we read, and no statement of affiliation or non-affiliation with the test maker appears either, so there is nobody named to hold to the terms.

What it does better than Reach120

Three things, and none of them is software. It puts a teacher and a room in front of you in twenty-six places, which no product in this comparison offers at all, and it wraps the exam in the thing the exam is actually for — counselling, applications and visa support for studying abroad. It publishes its own coaching fee openly, where most classroom institutions in this set hide theirs behind a telephone call. And it lets you sit a free demo class before paying anything, which is a better trial than any allowance for someone who does not yet know whether they learn better from a person.

Free access, as their page states it

Not a free tier in the shape the software rows use, and the page says so in its own terms: "Walk into any of our 26 centers for a free demo class. Online demo sessions also available." The trial is an hour of a teacher’s time rather than an allowance on an account, which is the right unit for what is being sold.

Price, as their page stated it

Their own fee is published plainly, which almost nothing else in this category does: the test-prep index lists "Coaching Fee ₹7,500" for TOEFL, alongside the same figure for the IELTS and PTE lines and higher ones for the GRE and GMAT. Currency is the Indian rupee, stated by symbol. One figure on their TOEFL page is deliberately NOT reproduced here. Beside the coaching fee, that page quotes the test maker’s own exam registration fee — their republication of a third party’s price, not theirs and not ours. Reach120 does not publish an ETS fee in any form, including a quotation of somebody else quoting it, and including one a reader could use as an anchor. The same page carries a registration fee for an unrelated third-party exam, withheld for the same reason. Their page is linked below for anyone who wants those numbers from the party that publishes them.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell can be filled — the pages name none of the six task types the January 2026 format introduced — and the more useful finding is a contradiction inside the same page rather than an omission. Its score guidance runs entirely on the retired 0-to-120 report: "110+" against a list of named universities, "100+" for top-20 programmes, "90+" for most graduate programmes, "80+" for others. Directly above it, the hero advertises "6.0 Target Band" and "Ivy League Ready — Band 6.0", which is the 1 to 6 scale official reports have used since January 21, 2026. The marketing line was rewritten for the current scale and the substantive advice underneath it was not, and a reader following the numbers would be aiming at a report that no longer exists.

Check before you buy

Three things. Read the accreditation line precisely rather than generously: "TOEFL iBT Authorized Consultant" is their wording for their own arrangement, the page explains nowhere what it covers, and it must not be read as a licence to teach or publish the test maker’s preparation material — a different arrangement, described in different words, on a different company’s page. Second, the score targets on that page are quoted on the retired 0-to-120 report while the banner beside them uses the current 1-to-6 band, so ask which scale the course actually prepares you against. And third, the published fee buys an unstated number of hours: no course length, batch size or mock-test count appears anywhere we read, so settle those before paying.

What it does better than Reach120

Three things, and the first has no equivalent here at all. Its mock is described as adaptive, which matters more than it sounds: the current Reading and Listening sections are multistage adaptive, and almost every third-party practice test in this set — Reach120 included — serves a fixed linear form instead. It publishes in Chinese for candidates preparing in Chinese, which Reach120 does not do. And it names all six current task types on its own public page, which most of this census still cannot.

Free access, as their page states it

Rationed rather than granted, and the numbers are published: its membership page offers a study pack it describes as "价值 ￥999" — a stated value of 999 yuan — for "免费", free, and releases it as "每日 10:00 发放 300 个名额", three hundred places issued daily at ten in the morning, with the remaining count printed live on the page. That is a queue rather than an allowance, and whether you get in depends on when you open the page.

Price, as their page stated it

No price for any paid product appears on the three pages we read on 2026-08-24 — no figure, no term and no currency symbol against anything purchasable. The one currency amount on the site is a stated value attached to a free membership pack, which is a claim about what something is worth rather than a price anybody is charged, so it is quoted where it belongs, beside the free tier, and not here. The pages loaded fully, so this is what the provider chose to publish rather than what we failed to read.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

All six are named on its mock-test page, in Chinese, grouped the way the current format groups them: Reading as "填词题、日常生活读、学术文章阅读" (Complete the Words, Read in Daily Life, Read an Academic Passage), Listening as "听答题、听短对话、听公告、听学术讲座", Writing as "造句子、写邮件、学术讨论" (Build a Sentence, Write an Email, Academic Discussion) and Speaking as "复读题、模拟面试" (Listen & Repeat, Take an Interview). It is one of a small number of pages in this census that name every one of the six, and the only one that does it in Chinese. That is the page naming them; no account was created to watch them run.

Check before you buy

Three things. The site never states who or what does the correcting — a person or a model — on any page we read, and that single missing sentence decides turnaround, consistency and what the feedback is worth, so ask before paying. Second, the authorisation claim is asserted without scope: no agreement, date or description of what is covered appears beside it, and a sentence about provenance is not a statement about how a response is scored. And third, the same mock page that advertises the 2026 rebuild also carries a line dating the change to July 26, 2023, so check which format the items you are served actually belong to.

What it does better than Reach120

Two things, and both are structural rather than clever. It teaches this exam in physical classrooms across dozens of Chinese cities, in the student’s own language, with an enrolment adviser at the end of every path — an institution of that scale is a category Reach120 does not compete in and should not pretend to. It also publishes past papers, predictions and downloadable study material as a free public library beside the paid teaching, which is a genuinely useful thing to have whether or not you ever enrol.

Free access, as their page states it

No free allowance of any kind is stated on the page we read. What it offers instead of a trial is a route to a person: the purchase path is a campus and enrolment point — "校区和报名点" — or a messaging assistant, and neither is described as free or paid on the page itself.

Price, as their page stated it

New Oriental publishes no figure of any kind on the page we read on 2026-08-24 — no amount, no range and no currency symbol anywhere on it. The purchase path it offers instead is a campus and enrolment point or a messaging assistant, so every route to a number runs through a conversation with a person. The page loaded fully, so this is a publishing decision rather than a failed fetch, and it is recorded as one.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

No cell can be filled: the portal names none of the six task types the January 2026 format introduced, and it makes no reference to the January 2026 change at all on the page we read. Its own navigation is organised by the older shape of the product — past papers, predictions, mock tests, downloads — rather than by task type. That is a statement about this page and not about what is taught in a classroom, and this row does not treat it as any.

Check before you buy

Three things. No price of any kind appears on the page — no figure, no range, no currency symbol — so every path to a number runs through a consultation, and you cannot compare it against anything until you have made contact. Second, the portal names no 2026 task type and does not mention the January 2026 change at all, so ask directly which format the course and the materials were rebuilt for. And third, the online mock platform its own navigation points to served us nothing readable on 2026-08-24 — see the note recorded against this row — so confirm that half of the offer works before buying on the strength of it.

What it does better than Reach120

One thing above everything else, and Reach120 has no answer to it: a person reads your Speaking and Writing response, and the page states that costs nothing. Human correction is the one form of feedback a model does not substitute for, and every other product in this set that offers it charges by the response. Add a large free library of past practice material with audio, published in Chinese for candidates preparing in Chinese, and the free offer here is larger than ours by any reading.

Free access, as their page states it

The most generous free offer in this whole census, and the reason it is worth reading carefully rather than dismissing. Its app page states "随时随地上传口语、写作练习，百位名师在线批改" — upload Speaking and Writing practice at any time, with hundreds of teachers correcting online — and adds "名师批改不花钱", teacher correction costs nothing. Practice material is given away too, though the amount depends which page you read: the app page states "1-34套TPO+Extra完全免费", the homepage advertises "TPO1-75全套托福真题+音频免费领", and the downloadable client is labelled "托福TPO1-54全真模拟考试系统". Three surfaces, three ranges.

Price, as their page stated it

No price for any paid product appears on the pages we read on 2026-08-24. What those pages publish is the opposite — free downloads, free correction, free trial lessons and a free booking form — with the paid teaching reached through a consultation rather than a rate card. The currency amounts that do appear are stated values attached to giveaway prizes, which are not prices of anything a reader can buy, so none is quoted here. The pages loaded fully, so this is a publishing decision rather than a failed fetch.

2026 task coverage — what we could establish

Three of the six are named, in one line of its own promotional copy: "邮件写作+连词成句+学术讨论一次拿下！" — Write an Email, Build a Sentence and Academic Discussion, taken together. Complete the Words, Listen & Repeat and Take an Interview appear nowhere on the pages we read, so those three cells stay empty and record an absence of evidence rather than an observed gap. The site is plainly aware of the redesign in its editorial voice — it publishes a piece headed "托福改革后怎么学？题型/时长/评分标准深度拆解" and markets against a target of "助力托福5.5+", which is the current banded scale rather than the retired one.

Check before you buy

Three things, and the first is the gap between the editorial voice and the software. Its downloadable mock client is stamped "更新：2018-09-08" and covers TPO 1-54 — a build that predates the January 2026 test by years — while the articles beside it discuss the redesign knowledgeably, so establish which of the two you are actually being given. Second, three of its own surfaces state three different ranges for the free material, so confirm what the giveaway contains before relying on it. And third, the correction offer names neither a turnaround nor a limit nor a rubric version, so ask how long it takes and against which scale before building a study plan on it.
