Reach120 vs ETS TOEFL TestReady: the 2026-format comparison, with its evidence attached
It is the first thing anyone finds, and the honest question is not which to use but what each is for. Official material is the authority on what the test asks. It is not a high-volume drilling system, and ETS itself states that its practice scores and its real-test scores come from two different systems. This page separates them on the axes you can actually check, and says where its own evidence runs out.
Who wrote this, and how to read it
Read on 2026-08-06, without an account, buying nothing and accessing no paywalled surface. Free allowances and prices change faster than pages like this one do, so treat every figure as dated evidence rather than a current quote.
- There is no score, no rating and no verdict. There are no star ratings in this page or in its structured data — Reach120 has no published review corpus, so a rating would be a number we made up.
- What ETS TOEFL TestReady does better is stated plainly, because a comparison that finds nothing good in the other product is an advertisement.
- Reach120 prices are not typed on this page. The pricing page is the only place they are stated, so there is one thing to keep correct rather than fourteen.
Reach120 and ETS TOEFL TestReady, side by side
The spine of this table is the six task types the January 2026 format introduced, because coverage is the one axis with checkable evidence: either a public page names the task or it does not. Everything else — free access, metering, price, scoring transparency — is quoted.

How the ETS TOEFL TestReady column was filled: 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.
| What you are comparing | Reach120 | ETS TOEFL TestReady |
|---|---|---|
| Free access | Reading and Listening practice is free with no daily limit and no lifetime limit. Write an Email, Write for an Academic Discussion and Take an Interview share 1 AI-scored credit a day; Listen & Repeat has its own allowance of 3 a day. Published questions, answers, transcripts, sample responses and PDF packs need no account. | 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. |
| How AI use is metered | The free tier is metered by measured cost — the three tasks that spend a model on your own words share one daily credit. A paid pass carries a stated fair-use ceiling rather than an open-ended promise. | Not applicable in the form the other rows use. |
| Price, as their page stated it | Exam passes are one-time and do not auto-renew; the current prices are on the pricing page, which this page reads rather than restates. | 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. |
| Scoring transparency | How a score is produced, and what the language model is and is not allowed to do with it, is published at /methodology. No scorer-versus-human agreement figure is published: the internal benchmark corpus is too small to publish as an accuracy claim. | ETS is the only provider in this set that publishes which system scores what — see the quoted statement on the page. That is a genuine transparency advantage over every third-party tool here, Reach120 included. |
Every ETS TOEFL TestReady cell above is a sentence their own public page stated, read on 2026-08-06. Prices and free allowances move; check the source before you buy. Reach120's own prices are not typed here — the pricing page is the only place they are stated.
What ETS TOEFL TestReady does better
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.
Where Reach120 is different
ETS states plainly that its practice scores and its real-test scores come from two different systems. That is the reason to practise in more than one place: an official practice score is the test maker’s fast estimate, not the scoring you meet on test day. Reach120 is an independent practice system, publishes its method at /methodology, and is free to read without an account.
Different is not better in the abstract. The difference matters only if it matches what you are short of — time, money, feedback, or lessons.
Where Reach120 is weaker, in its own words: This page makes no case for its own product over the others. Where Reach120 is weaker: there are no taught video lessons, no human tutor review of a response, no coverage of any exam other than the TOEFL test, fewer free AI-scored submissions a day than PrepEx states, and no published scorer-versus-human agreement figure — the internal benchmark corpus is too small to publish as an accuracy claim, so it is not published.
Which one to choose
- Choose ETS TOEFL TestReady if what it does better is what you are short of. That sentence is above, unedited, and it is the whole reason this section can be brief.
- Choose Reach120 if you want to read the practice material and its answers before creating anything, and you want the four sections in one place with the method published.
- Choose both if the budget allows. They are not mutually exclusive, and nobody preparing for an exam owes one vendor loyalty.
Before either: 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.
Sources, and what we could not read
- the official TOEFL iBT preparation hub — https://www.ets.org/toefl/test-takers/ibt/prepare.html, read 2026-08-06.
ETS TOEFL TestReady states the following about itself. These are their words, quoted, and this page does not verify them:
- "Prepare for the TOEFL test with expert tips, practice questions, and study resources designed to help you succeed."
- "The TOEFL iBT Sample Test is accessible to screen readers."
Reach120 vs ETS TOEFL TestReady: common questions
- Is ETS TOEFL TestReady better than Reach120?
- This page does not answer that, and no page published by one of the two products honestly could. What it gives you instead is the evidence to answer it yourself: what each states about free access, price and 2026 task coverage, quoted from the page it was read from on 2026-08-06, plus a plain statement of what ETS TOEFL TestReady does better — 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.
- What does ETS TOEFL TestReady cost?
- This page states no ETS TOEFL TestReady price. 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.
- Can I use Reach120 free instead of paying for ETS TOEFL TestReady?
- You can use a large part of it free and decide afterwards. Reading and Listening practice is free with no daily limit and no lifetime limit. Write an Email, Write for an Academic Discussion and Take an Interview share 1 AI-scored credit a day; Listen & Repeat has its own allowance of 3 a day. Published questions, answers, transcripts, sample responses and PDF packs need no account.
- Does ETS TOEFL TestReady cover the 2026 TOEFL task types?
- Here is what we could establish rather than what we assume: 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. A blank cell in the table on this page means we found no public statement, not that the feature is missing.
- Who publishes this comparison?
- Reach120 does, and Reach120 is one of the two products in it. That is disclosed at the top rather than buried, every competitor fact carries the URL and date it came from, and the section stating what ETS TOEFL TestReady does better is mandatory on every page in this set. Nothing here is sponsored and ETS TOEFL TestReady did not review it. If you believe a fact on this page is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will re-read the source.
