This LSATMax review is shorter than most because the pricing is partly hidden: Solomon Core is $99 a month and the 170+ Course is $1,595, while course subscription prices for some tiers are not published at all. Prices recorded July 26, 2026.
Solomon Core is $99 a month, Solomon Plus+ is $199 a month and the 170+ Course is $1,595, recorded from LSATMax's own plans page on July 26, 2026 (LSATMax plans (https://testmaxprep.com/lsat/solomon-plans)).
LSATMax does not publish course subscription prices for some tiers on that page, which is worth stating plainly rather than working around. LSATMax tutoring is $199 an hour, from the same source.
LawHub Advantage remains a separate $124 a year from LSAC (LSAC LawHub (https://www.lsac.org/lawhub)).
Yes, in the sense the question usually means: it is an established provider with a full curriculum and published tutoring rates. The reservation is about pricing transparency rather than legitimacy.
At $99 a month Solomon Core is priced level with LSAT Demon Essential and Blueprint Self-Paced Starter, and $30 above 7Sage Core at $69, from each provider's own pages on July 26, 2026. It is not the cheapest entry point in the market and it is within the normal band.
The app-first delivery is the real differentiator. If you study primarily on a phone or tablet that is a genuine advantage; if you study at a desk it is neutral.
Anyone who wants to compare total cost before committing, because the unpublished subscription tiers make that impossible without contacting sales.
Anyone shopping on price, since 7Sage Core at $69 a month undercuts Solomon Core at $99 and 7Sage charges LSAC fee-waiver holders $1 a month (7Sage pricing (https://7sage.com/self-study/pricing)), a rate with no published equivalent here.
And anyone buying tutoring on rate, since PowerScore publishes $175 an hour against LSATMax's $199 (PowerScore courses (https://powerscore.com/lsat/courses)).

Two of the seven, and it is worth naming plainly. Princeton Review publishes no tuition price anywhere on its site for any tier (Princeton Review LSAT (https://www.princetonreview.com/law/lsat-test-prep)).
Kaplan publishes some and not others: On Demand at $799, In Person from $1,445 and its 170+ course at $2,099 are listed, while Live Online and every tutoring rate are not (Kaplan LSAT courses (https://www.kaptest.com/lsat/courses/lsat-prep-diy-online)). LSATMax publishes its course prices but not its subscription prices for some tiers (LSATMax plans (https://testmaxprep.com/lsat/solomon-plans)).
Pricing behind a signup form is a choice, and the usual reason for it is that the price varies by who is asking. That is not automatically bad and it does mean you cannot compare without handing over contact details, which is worth knowing before you start.
Price is a poor predictor of outcome, and the intervention literature is unusually blunt about it. Across 28 studies and more than 16,000 participants, test prep as a category produced an overall effect of g = .26, and practice tests on their own produced g = .19 at p = .233, which is not statistically significant, per Hao and colleagues (2025), Review of Educational Research (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/00346543251360775).
More striking for a page about a paid course: in that same Hao and colleagues analysis, neither contact hours at p = .489 nor program duration in weeks at p = .314 predicted outcomes. Buying more hours is not the mechanism.
What did register in Hao and colleagues was structured practice on the reasoning, with workbooks at g = .40 and explicitly teaching test-taking skills at g = .35. So the question to ask of any product is not how much material it contains but whether it changes how you review.
And review timing is free. Testing yourself beats restudying at g = 0.50 across 61 studies, rising to g = 0.69 when review comes a day or more after the attempt against g = 0.41 under a day, per Rowland (2014), Psychological Bulletin (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25150680/).
We should declare the interest: Lovare is ours. We sell coaching, which competes with the top tier of every product reviewed on this site, so read this the way you would read any review written by a competitor.
What Lovare is: a free diagnostic that identifies which sections are actually costing you points, a free archetype quiz that names your study failure mode, and one-to-one coaching built around the review method rather than around content delivery. We do not sell a question bank and we do not sell hours of video.
Who it is not for, stated plainly. If you want a large self-serve library to work through alone, a subscription platform is the better buy and costs less.
If you have not yet taken a timed test, coaching is premature and the free diagnostic is the whole of what we would sell you today. And if your problem is that you have not started, no coach fixes that.
We do not publish a coaching price on these pages, because our verified fact set covers competitors' published prices and not our own rate card. The diagnostic is free and the price of anything beyond it is set at the consult.
Each provider below is named somewhere in the text above. The link is its own pricing page, which is where each figure was recorded and where you should check it before buying.
7Sage: https://7sage.com/self-study/pricing. LSAT Demon: https://lsatdemon.com/plans/lsat. Blueprint: https://blueprintprep.com/lsat/online-anytime.
PowerScore: https://powerscore.com/lsat/courses. LSATMax: https://testmaxprep.com/lsat/solomon-plans.

LSAC's own charges are at LSAC LSAT and CAS fees (https://www.lsac.org/lsat/register-lsat/lsat-cas-fees) and LSAC LawHub (https://www.lsac.org/lawhub). PowerScore's book prices are at PowerScore publications (https://powerscore.com/lsat/publications).
Every figure on this page was taken from the provider's own pricing page and recorded on July 26, 2026. Prep pricing moves more often than anything else we publish, and providers run promotions that are not reflected on their list-price pages.
So treat the numbers here as a snapshot with a date on it, and open the source link beside each one before you buy. We would rather print a dated figure you can check than an undated figure you cannot.
One structural cost sits outside every table on this page. LawHub Advantage costs $124 a year from LSAC and nearly every course requires it as a separate purchase (LSAC LawHub (https://www.lsac.org/lawhub)). Providers quote it inconsistently at $115, $120 and $124; LSAC's own price is the one that governs.
Every LSAC figure on this page was taken from LSAC's own pages and last checked on July 26, 2026. Prices, dates and policies move without notice, so the source link sits next to each number rather than in a bibliography at the bottom.
Where LSAC has not published something, this page says so in those words rather than filling the hole with a plausible number. That is the difference between a gap and a guess, and only one of them is safe to plan around.
Yes, LSATMax is an established provider with a full curriculum and a published $199 hourly tutoring rate. The reservation is pricing transparency: it does not publish course subscription prices for some tiers.
Solomon Core is $99 a month, Solomon Plus+ is $199 and the 170+ Course is $1,595, recorded from LSATMax's own plans page on July 26, 2026. Some course subscription prices are not published.
It is more expensive at entry, $99 against $69, and app-first rather than desktop-first. 7Sage also publishes a $1 a month fee-waiver rate with no equivalent here.
$199 an hour from LSATMax's own page on July 26, 2026, which is above PowerScore's published $175 and below LSAT Demon's tiered $200 to $1,200.
Not LawHub. LawHub Advantage is $124 a year from LSAC and is required separately, as with nearly every provider.
