Our verdict on each
My Permit Pass
My Permit Pass suits anyone sitting a driver's ed permit test who wants a self paced bank of questions and a free trial before paying. Entry fees of $24.99 sit above two cheaper rivals, and the score guarantee is none, so the value rests on volume rather than any promise.
TicketSchool
TicketSchool suits US drivers who want a single online course that clears both a drivers-ed requirement and a traffic-school ticket, priced at $24.95 with 60 days for a money-back claim. It suits learners who prefer self-paced study, since live classes are not part of the offer.

Pros and cons
My Permit Pass
Pros
- Money back within 30 days if the material is not a fit.
- A free trial and a free tier mean the questions can be checked before any spend.
- Access runs 6 to 12 months, enough to sit a permit test and retake it without paying twice.
Cons
- Live classes are not offered and the tutoring addon is not available, so support runs on email and help centre only.
- Entry fees of $24.99 are above $19 at DriverEdToGo and $19 at I Drive Safely.
- A bank of 800 practice questions sits well below 3,000 for courses across the site.
TicketSchool
Pros
- Drivers-ed entry starts at $24.95, and course prices sit at drivers-ed: $24.95 traffic-school: $24.95 for both formats.
- A money back promise runs for 60 days, longer than the typical window in this group.
- State approval is listed for FL, IL and LA, covering a wide spread of US licensing states.
Cons
- Live classes are listed as no, so anyone wanting a scheduled session has to look elsewhere.
- Entry is above DriverEdToGo at $19 and Drivers Ed at $20 on the lowest ticket.
- The 60 days window on the money back promise applies only while the course is unfinished, so a completed course closes the claim route.

Questions about each
My Permit Pass
How much does My Permit Pass cost?+
Entry fees of $24.99 cover the driver education package, with separate options for a single state and for wider nationwide coverage, plus a free tier that costs nothing. Access runs 6 to 12 months depending on the option chosen, so check which window suits the test date.
Is there a free trial or a free version?+
A free trial is offered, and the free tier is listed at nothing, so both the format and a slice of the questions can be checked before any spend. Buyers who go on to pay get 30 days to change their mind, which takes some of the pressure off the decision.
TicketSchool
How much does TicketSchool cost?+
Course prices are published as drivers-ed: $24.95 traffic-school: $24.95, and the lowest entry point is $24.95. The published figures are the course price itself rather than a first instalment, so what you see at the start is what the course costs. Against a category median entry of €18.59, the opening figure is a moderate spend.
What is the money-back guarantee like?+
TicketSchool offers a money back guarantee with a 60 days window, well past the 30-day median for comparable courses. The terms depend on the course still being unfinished, so a course already completed successfully sits outside the claim rather than inside it.
