Our verdict on each
7Sage
7Sage is a self study pick for LSAT, SAT and ACT candidates who want a large question bank in a single month of access. Entry fees of $69 and 80 full length tests are the trade to weigh, since the score guarantee is listed as none.
Altius Test Prep
Altius Test Prep runs a single exam line with 12 months of access, live classes and a free trial, so it suits candidates who want a structured plan rather than a question bank. The catch is entry price: fees start at $301, well above the cheaper rivals listed here.

Pros and cons
7Sage
Pros
- A single plan covers lsat, sat and act, so LSAT, SAT and ACT practice sits under one subscription.
- Access runs 1 month, which suits a fixed test date study burst.
- The question bank holds 80 full length tests, the top count in this comparison.
Cons
- Entry price of $69 is high against the €18.59 site median monthly price.
- Access lasts 1 month, so an unfinished plan has to be renewed at full cost.
- The score guarantee is listed as none, so there is no refund route if the score does not move.
Altius Test Prep
Pros
- A single payment covers 12 months of access plus full length tests in the range 1 to 10.
- Live classes sit in the offer rather than behind a separate tier, and support runs on email and phone for anyone who wants a person on the other end.
- A free trial and a 14 to 30 day money back window mean you can test the course first, at or above the 14 day site median.
Cons
- The entry price of $301 sits far above Zebra Education at $49 and Testprep Training at $12.99.
- Coverage is narrow: the exams listed are mcat, with no wider catalogue to move to inside the same purchase.
- Full length tests sit at the low end of 1 to 10, under the 8 median across test prep listings.

Questions about each
7Sage
How much does 7Sage cost at the start?+
Entry fees are $69 on the self study plan, and LSAT pricing is listed at lsat: $69/month. That is well above the €18.59 median monthly price across this category, so 7Sage sits at the higher end of entry cost rather than the budget end.
Does the price change when I renew?+
The plan is sold with 1 month of access, and the listed fee of $69 is what the subscription page states. Renewal means paying again for a fresh block of access, so a plan left unfinished still has to be bought again rather than carried over.
Altius Test Prep
What does Altius Test Prep cost to start?+
Entry is listed at $301, and the exam pricing line shows mcat: $301, so the opening figure and the per exam figure agree rather than pointing to a cheaper tier. That is well above $49 at Zebra Education and $12.99 at Testprep Training, so entry cost is the first thing to weigh before choosing.
Is there a free trial and a refund window?+
There is a free trial, so you can work through some material before paying anything. The money back window runs 14 to 30 days, which meets or exceeds the 14 day median across the listings here. Between the trial and that window, the risk of buying at the wrong moment is smaller.
