Our verdict on each
LSAT Demon
LSAT Demon suits LSAT candidates who want live classes and a monthly plan rather than a one off exam course. Its plan starts at $99 a month, above cheaper test prep subscriptions here, and it pairs a 30 day refund window with a trial.
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
LSAT Demon
Pros
- Live classes are part of the plan, so scheduled teaching sits alongside self study material.
- The 30 day refund window matches the group median of 30 days, giving a real study block before you decide.
- A free trial means you can judge the explanations before paying for $99 a month.
Cons
- Score guarantee: none, so a weak result does not itself trigger a refund and you rely on the 30 day window instead.
- Coverage is limited to lsat, so anyone preparing for a different exam needs a different provider.
- The monthly plan costs $99, above the $12.99 entry point at Testprep Training and the $69 entry point at E2Language.
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
Who each suits
LSAT Demon
Who it suits
- Candidates sitting the LSAT who want live classes and self study material in the same monthly plan.
- Self starters who want to try a free trial and a 30 day refund window before paying for a full term.
- Anyone who wants phone as well as email support while they study.
Who should look elsewhere
- Candidates preparing for exams other than the LSAT, since coverage is limited to lsat.
- Buyers on the tightest budget, who may find $12.99 at Testprep Training or $49 at Zebra Education cheaper.
- Anyone who wants a promise tied to their score, since the score guarantee is none.
Magoosh
Who it suits
- Gre and GMAT candidates who want a money back window and a higher score promise on the same purchase
- Students moving between the ACT, GMAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT and SAT who value one name across exams
- Self studiers comfortable pairing self paced questions with live classes and a paid tutoring addon
Who should look elsewhere
- Budget buyers who only need a few practice questions, where Testprep Training starts at $12.99
- Learners who want phone support, since Magoosh lists email, chat and help centre
- Candidates needing a heavy test battery, where Zebra Education starts at $49 for a different mix
Questions about each
LSAT Demon
How much does LSAT Demon cost each month?+
The plan runs monthly at $99 a month, and the published exam price reads lsat: $99/month. On entry price, LSAT Demon ranks 32 among 65 brands here, which places it in the higher priced part of this group rather than the budget end.
Is there a free trial?+
Yes. A free trial is offered, so you can open the material and judge the explanations before paying for the monthly plan. If you do subscribe, the refund window is 30 days, which means a trial that turns into a subscription is still reversible for a while.
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.
