Reach120 vs TOEFL Exam Prep: the 2026-format comparison, with its evidence attached

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 TOEFL Exam Prep 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 TOEFL Exam Prep, 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.

What TOEFL Exam Prep does better

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 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.

Where Reach120 is different

Their free thing is an event; ours is a library. Ten minutes with them returns an estimated band across four sections without an account, and then the practice is inside a subscription. Reach120 leaves Reading and Listening practice free with no daily or lifetime cap, publishes its question banks, answer keys, transcripts and downloadable packs with no account at all, and meters only the responses that spend a model on your own writing or speech. Which is the better deal depends entirely on whether you want one measurement or a lot of practice.

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 TOEFL Exam Prep 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: 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.

TOEFL Exam Prep states the following about itself. These are their words, quoted, and this page does not verify them:

• "All practice tasks and mock tests are built for the official 2026 TOEFL format — new task types and 1–6 band scoring."
• "All plans include unlimited AI grading for both Speaking and Writing, with detailed feedback aligned with the ETS 1–6 band rubrics."
• "The TOEFL changed in January 2026. Most prep didn’t."

Reach120 vs TOEFL Exam Prep: common questions

Is TOEFL Exam Prep 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 TOEFL Exam Prep does better — 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 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.

What does TOEFL Exam Prep cost?

On 2026-08-06, their own page stated: Three subscription terms, each shown on sale: "1 Week" at "$19.90" struck to "$14.90", "per week · billed weekly"; "3 Months" at "$119.70" struck to "$74.90", "billed every 3 months"; "1 Year" at "$478.80" struck to "$99.90", "per year · billed yearly". Currency is shown as a dollar sign; the page does not name the currency. The FAQ states a "14-day money-back guarantee" on a first subscription purchase with "Renewal charges … excluded", and that you can "upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your plan at any time", with changes taking effect "on your next billing date". Prices and sales move, so check the page itself before paying.

Can I use Reach120 free instead of paying for TOEFL Exam Prep?

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 TOEFL Exam Prep cover the 2026 TOEFL task types?

Here is what we could establish rather than what we assume: 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. 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 TOEFL Exam Prep does better is mandatory on every page in this set. Nothing here is sponsored and TOEFL Exam Prep 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.
