Drilled vs Acely
Acely is a SAT/ACT app with a broader score-range pitch and a higher monthly price (about $49/mo annual or $149/mo monthly, published August 2026). Drilled is narrower: Digital SAT Math and Reading & Writing for people already near the top, at $19/mo.
Price and scope
Acely covers more of the 'app that preps you' surface and charges for it. Drilled is one job — late-stage 800 training — and is priced like a tool, not a course. If you need ACT plus SAT plus a chatty app, Acely is aimed at you. If you need hard Module 2 and a notebook, you do not need to pay $149/mo for it.
Difficulty
Drilled's product decision is explicit: Easy is never served. Adaptive sims route. Band 6–7 is the default gravity. If an app is still feeding you confidence-building Easy items at 740, that is a different product.
Questions
- Which is better for a 750 aiming at 800?
- Drilled is built for that slice. Acely may still be useful as a second source. Paying both full freight is rarely the constraint that was missing.
- Does Drilled include the ACT?
- No. Digital SAT Math and Reading & Writing only. If you need ACT in the same app, Acely is built for that scope.
