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.
Magoosh
Magoosh suits candidates who want broad exam choice, a refund window and a score improvement promise in one purchase. Entry pricing of $149 runs above the cheapest rivals, but 6 full length tests and a 7 day guarantee settle it for planned test takers.

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.
Magoosh
Pros
- Covers act, gmat and gre under one provider, so a change of exam does not mean a change of platform
- A 7 day money back guarantee sits alongside a guaranteed score improvement on a prior GRE result
- Access runs 1 to 12 months, letting a test date decide the plan rather than the other way round
Cons
- Entry price of $149 sits well above $12.99 and $49, so short study windows cost more per month
- The 7 day refund window is shorter than the 30 day median in this category
- Only 6 full length tests ship, against a category median of 10.25

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.
Magoosh
How much does Magoosh cost and what access periods do I get?+
Magoosh starts at $149 for its shortest term, and access runs 1 to 12 months, so a test date rather than a monthly habit sets the length. Longer terms cost more in total but spread that cost over more months of study. Prices are quoted in US dollars and the company is registered in the US.
What does the guarantee actually cover?+
Two separate promises sit on the purchase. One is a 7 day money back guarantee with no questions asked, and the other guarantees a higher score on a previous GRE result, with a stated improvement of points on that result. The score promise is the reason Magoosh ranks as a higher score guarantee provider rather than a refund only offer.
