Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Brilliant

Requires active daily engagement to maintain learning streaks, which can feel gamified
Premium subscription needed for full course access; basic free tier is limited
Focuses only on STEM subjects; no humanities or social sciences
Interactive nature requires more time commitment than passive video learning

Skoolur

Covers Classes 1 to 10 only, so students entering Classes 11 and 12 must move elsewhere at exactly the point pressure peaks
Group classes mean less individual attention than one-to-one, which costs substantially more
Live scheduled classes require fixed weekly availability, unlike self-paced platforms
Priced per subject per month, so a student needing several subjects sees the total rise quickly
