Reach120 vs WizPrep: the 2026-format comparison, with its evidence attached
Both products meter the expensive part rather than promising it away, and both count Speaking and Writing separately, so for once two prep pages can be compared on the same axis instead of on adjectives. The second reason people hold them side by side is billing shape: one sells a term that ends by itself, the other sells passes, and neither leaves a subscription running behind you. 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 2026-08-24, 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 WizPrep 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 WizPrep, 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 WizPrep column was filled: 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.
| What you are comparing | Reach120 | WizPrep |
|---|---|---|
| Free access | Reading, Listening and Build a Sentence practice is free with no daily limit and no lifetime limit. Write an Email and Write for an Academic Discussion give a free account 3 AI-scored writing responses to start, then one more each day, up to 10 in total; Take an Interview has 3 AI-scored Take an Interview responses in total, for the life of the account; Listen & Repeat has 8 on the account, for life. Published questions, answers, transcripts, sample responses and PDF packs need no account. | 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. |
| How AI use is metered | The free tier is metered by measured cost — the three tasks that spend a model on your own words carry daily allowances, Writing and Speaking counted separately because an Interview costs multiples of an essay. A paid pass carries a stated fair-use ceiling rather than an open-ended promise. | Credits, on a two-lane meter — Speaking credits and Writing credits are counted separately and stated separately on every plan. That is the same axis Reach120 meters its own free tier on, and it makes the plans directly comparable by volume rather than only by month. |
| 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. | 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." |
| 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. | It names the scales it grades against, which is more than most pages do, and the naming is where the problem sits rather than in any absence: "the ETS standard TOEFL scoring system (Speaking 0-4 scale, Writing 0-5 scale)". Those are the per-task raw scales of the format retired on January 21, 2026, not the 1 to 6 band official reports have carried since. Nothing we read states how a score is produced or what it has been checked against. To their credit and unprompted, the footer states "TOEFL® is a registered trademark of ETS. This product is not endorsed or approved by ETS" — a disclosure several products in this market decline to make. Reach120 publishes no agreement figure either, and does publish how a score is produced, at /methodology. |
Every WizPrep cell above is a sentence their own public page stated, read on 2026-08-24. 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 WizPrep does better
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.
Where Reach120 is different
Reach120 publishes the material; WizPrep publishes the meter. Their plan table states exactly how many Speaking and Writing evaluations each term buys and that purchased credits do not expire, which is more arithmetic than most of this set hands you before signup. Reach120 puts the questions, the answer keys, the transcripts and the sample responses in the page itself, readable in view-source with no account, leaves Reading and Listening practice uncapped, and runs the six task types the January 2026 format introduced. One of those is a better deal to compute and the other is a better thing to inspect.
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 WizPrep 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. 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.
Sources, and what we could not read
- the WizPrep homepage — https://wizprep.ai/, read 2026-08-24.
- its pricing page, which renders the full plan table in the served page — https://wizprep.ai/en/pricing, read 2026-08-24.
WizPrep states the following about itself. These are their words, quoted, and this page does not verify them:
- "WizPrep is an AI-powered TOEFL preparation platform that provides personalized and efficient learning solutions for students worldwide."
- "WizPrep uses the ETS standard TOEFL scoring system (Speaking 0-4 scale, Writing 0-5 scale) and provides detailed analysis."
- "TOEFL® is a registered trademark of ETS. This product is not endorsed or approved by ETS."
Reach120 vs WizPrep: common questions
- Is WizPrep 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 2026-08-24, plus a plain statement of what WizPrep does better — 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.
- What does WizPrep cost?
- On 2026-08-24, their own page stated: 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." Prices and sales move, so check the page itself before paying.
- Can I use Reach120 free instead of paying for WizPrep?
- You can use a large part of it free and decide afterwards. Reading, Listening and Build a Sentence practice is free with no daily limit and no lifetime limit. Write an Email and Write for an Academic Discussion give a free account 3 AI-scored writing responses to start, then one more each day, up to 10 in total; Take an Interview has 3 AI-scored Take an Interview responses in total, for the life of the account; Listen & Repeat has 8 on the account, for life. Published questions, answers, transcripts, sample responses and PDF packs need no account.
- Does WizPrep cover the 2026 TOEFL task types?
- Here is what we could establish rather than what we assume: 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. 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 WizPrep does better is mandatory on every page in this set. Nothing here is sponsored and WizPrep 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.
