Reach120 vs TestGlider: the 2026-format comparison, with its evidence attached

It carries the largest search volume of any competitor name in this set, and its offer — one complete free mock — is the single most direct answer to "let me try a whole test before I pay for anything". 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 TestGlider 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 TestGlider, 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 TestGlider column was filled: 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.

Free access, metering, price and scoring transparency: Reach120 and TestGlider
What you are comparingReach120TestGlider
Free accessReading 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.The homepage advertises a "TOEFL 2026 Free Mock Test" and "Sign Up and Get One Free TOEFL Mock Test".
How AI use is meteredThe 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 stated on the page as read.
Price, as their page stated itExam passes are one-time and do not auto-renew; the current prices are on the pricing page, which this page reads rather than restates.No price appeared on the pages we could read on this date; the pricing surface renders client-side. We therefore state no TestGlider price on this page.
Scoring transparencyHow 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 homepage refers to the exam’s "New 6-point evaluation", which describes the scale ETS now reports on rather than TestGlider’s own grading. We could not read a statement about how their score is produced.

Every TestGlider 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 TestGlider does better

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.

Where Reach120 is different

The trade is free breadth against free depth. TestGlider offers a whole mock at signup; Reach120 offers unlimited free Reading and Listening practice, published question banks and downloadable packs with no account at all, and meters only the responses that spend a model on your own writing or speech.

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

Reach120 vs TestGlider: common questions

Is TestGlider 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 TestGlider does better — 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.
What does TestGlider cost?
On 2026-08-06, their own page stated: No price appeared on the pages we could read on this date; the pricing surface renders client-side. We therefore state no TestGlider price on this page. Prices and sales move, so check the page itself before paying.
Can I use Reach120 free instead of paying for TestGlider?
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 TestGlider cover the 2026 TOEFL task types?
Here is what we could establish rather than what we assume: 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. 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 TestGlider does better is mandatory on every page in this set. Nothing here is sponsored and TestGlider 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.
