An AWS-focused exam-prep publisher (also known as Tutorials Dojo / Jon Bonso) selling practice exam sets per certification, alongside labs, playgrounds and eBooks. 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 Tutorials Dojo is genuinely the better choice.
Tutorials Dojo works on a one-time purchase per exam set — not a 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, Tutorials Dojo 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.
