A free exam-question library with an optional PRO tier and a very large vendor catalogue. Below is a like-for-like comparison with CertStud on how each one charges, what you commit to, coverage, and what you get beyond questions — including where ExamTopics is genuinely the better choice.
ExamTopics works on a free access with an optional pro tier — not a per-exam subscription. CertStud is a subscription at $19.99/month for one certification (3 full-length practice exams + 300 practice questions), or Everything from $59.99/month or $249/year (~$20.75/mo).
If you are preparing for one AWS exam and want a single payment with nothing recurring, ExamTopics is a reasonable choice. If you are preparing for several exams or want flashcards, full-length timed exams and analytics in the same place, CertStud is usually the better fit.
