Pros and cons
Legale Lover
Pros
- A free tier is offered, and the money-back period of 7 days makes a misjudged sign-up recoverable.
- Assessments sit behind the certificate and a team plan is available, so one arrangement can serve a single learner or a firm.
- Certificates cover completion and professional, giving a completion record and a professional one from the same course.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre only, so a learner cannot reach a person by voice or in a live chat.
- Course material is in Portuguese only, and the subject field is business, so a learner outside that scope has little to start with.
- The money-back period of 7 days ranks 120 of 159, a narrow window next to the brands around it.
Royal Open College
Pros
- The subscription plan is priced at £49 for the year, well under the €71.91 site median.
- Individual courses start at £19.99, so buying one topic costs less than a year of access.
- CPD credit recognition is in place, which matters for UK professional development.
Cons
- A certificate costs £12.99 on top of study, so the all in figure is higher than the subscription line suggests.
- Catalogue size is the strength and the weakness: 6,431 courses covers a lot but the single listed subject is business.
- The money back window of 14 days is shorter than the 30-day upper quartile of money back periods across the site.

Questions about each
Legale Lover
How much does Legale Lover cost to start?+
Entry starts at a price of BRL 4.90, which is the platform's headline figure and the one that ranks 5 of 220 brands on price. A certificate is not inside that figure: it costs BRL 14.90 separately once a course is finished. Budget for both if you want the credential.
What kinds of certificate does it issue?+
Certificates come in completion and professional forms, meaning a completion certificate for finishing a course and a professional one. The professional kind carries the weight for a legal career, while completion suits general study. The certificate fee of BRL 14.90 is charged apart from the course, so choose the kind before paying.
Royal Open College
How much does a course cost at Royal Open College?+
Individual courses start at £19.99, and that is the entry figure readers compare. Some courses sit above it, so the cheapest option is not representative of everything. The catalogue holds 6,431 courses, so prices vary by topic. Business is the single subject area listed.
What does the annual subscription cost?+
The subscription plan lists at £49 for the year and gives 12 months of access. That figure puts Royal Open College at 11 of 78 brands, one of the stronger subscription positions on the site. The annual line is the cheapest way to reach several courses if you study regularly.
