Reach120 vs LingoLeap: the 2026-format comparison, with its evidence attached
Both products meter AI usage rather than promising unlimited grading, so they can be compared on the one thing most prep pricing hides: what a month of actual practice costs. 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 LingoLeap 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 LingoLeap, 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 LingoLeap column was filled: 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.
| What you are comparing | Reach120 | LingoLeap |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | Not stated on the pricing page as read. The page offers a "Start Free Practice" button without describing what the free tier includes. |
| 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. | Credits, with the price list published: Plus carries "7,500 credits for 3 months" and Premium "15,000 credits for 3 months", against stated costs of 200 credits for one writing evaluation, 100 for a Listen and Repeat session, 200 for a Take an Interview session and 800 for a full practice test. |
| 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. | Plus is listed at "$20/mo", or "$50 at once" for three months ("$16.6/mo"); Premium at "$49/mo", or "$123 at once" for three months ("$41/mo"). Annual terms are also shown. The three-month plans state "90 days" of validity. |
| 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. | The pricing page states what an evaluation costs, not how it is produced. That is more than most pages state on the money question and silent on the method question. |
Every LingoLeap 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 LingoLeap does better
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.
Where Reach120 is different
LingoLeap prices actions in credits and publishes the price list, so you can compute your own bill. Reach120 does not sell credits at all: its free allowance is metered by measured cost and a paid pass carries a stated fair-use ceiling. Neither is the better design in the abstract — they answer to different budgets.
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 LingoLeap 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: 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.

Reach120 vs LingoLeap: common questions
- Is LingoLeap 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 LingoLeap does better — 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.
- What does LingoLeap cost?
- On 2026-08-06, their own page stated: Plus is listed at "$20/mo", or "$50 at once" for three months ("$16.6/mo"); Premium at "$49/mo", or "$123 at once" for three months ("$41/mo"). Annual terms are also shown. The three-month plans state "90 days" of validity. Prices and sales move, so check the page itself before paying.
- Can I use Reach120 free instead of paying for LingoLeap?
- 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 LingoLeap cover the 2026 TOEFL task types?
- Here is what we could establish rather than what we assume: 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. 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 LingoLeap does better is mandatory on every page in this set. Nothing here is sponsored and LingoLeap 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.
