What is the difference between StudyCerts and Whizlabs?

Whizlabs is a training library: for each exam you get practice tests, a video course, hands-on labs, and a cloud sandbox, and a subscription opens the whole catalog. StudyCerts is a measurement tool: every test and quiz is scored on each exam domain, your scores are tracked over time and against other learners, and gap analysis tells you what to study next. Whizlabs teaches more; StudyCerts tells you more precisely where you stand.

Is there a Whizlabs alternative for Azure exams?

Yes. StudyCerts covers seven Microsoft Azure exams and tracks your readiness on every domain of each. Whizlabs covers those seven and many more, including the data, security, and Windows Server exams, with labs that run in a temporary Azure environment.

Is StudyCerts cheaper than Whizlabs?

Over a year, no. Whizlabs' Standard plan is $129 a year for every practice test and video course, against $19.95 a month for StudyCerts. Over one or two months, StudyCerts costs less, and its 30-day money-back guarantee has no conditions, while Whizlabs refunds a yearly plan in full only within the first three days and by half until day 29. A single Whizlabs practice-test course lists at $69.95 to $75.95 but is usually sold at a steep discount.

Yes, and for some learners that is the right answer. Whizlabs' video courses, labs, and sandboxes teach the material; StudyCerts measures whether it stuck, domain by domain, and tells you where to go back.

Where StudyCerts is different

Readiness you can act on

Every test and quiz is scored against the exam's domains, so instead of one percentage you get a measurement for each objective.

Trends and benchmarks

Domain scores are charted across attempts, and each domain shows how other learners score on it.

Progress against a date

Set your exam date and StudyCerts tracks whether you are on course for it, domain by domain.

Practice built from your scores

Gap analysis ranks your weakest domains and custom practice drills just those, so the next session is already chosen for you.

Ask about any answer

Ask a follow-up about a specific question and get an answer grounded in the official documentation.

Free study guides for every domain

A public study guide for each exam domain, readable without an account.

Where Whizlabs is strong

Hands-on labs and sandboxes

Guided labs on every exam and live AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud sandboxes, so you can practise without your own cloud account. StudyCerts has neither.

A video course for every exam

Each certification comes with a full video course, and the subscription opens more than 4,500 videos across the library.

A much wider catalog

AWS, DevOps and Kubernetes, cybersecurity, Power Platform, Microsoft 365, and Java, beside Azure and Google Cloud. StudyCerts covers Azure and Google Cloud only.

A low yearly price

The Standard plan is $129 a year for every practice test and video course, less than StudyCerts over a year.

Cheat sheets and a pass-or-refund promise

A free cheat sheet on every exam page, and a full refund on a course if you fail the real exam and send proof.
