CELPass vs HelloCELPIP
By CELPass Editorial Team · Updated
CELPass and HelloCELPIP are both online CELPIP-General practice platforms with unlimited AI scoring for Speaking and Writing on paid plans. A note on bias: CELPass is our own product. We have kept to facts each site states on its own pages, including the areas where HelloCELPIP offers more than we do. Neither platform is affiliated with the other, and CELPass is not affiliated with Paragon Testing Enterprises.
What is the difference between CELPass and HelloCELPIP?
HelloCELPIP sells short subscriptions, from one week to six months, and treats paid purchases as final. CELPass gives more free before you pay, a larger question bank (19,000 questions against 2,000+ stated), a 7-day money-back guarantee, and refunds everything you paid if you reach CLB 9 in all four skills.
