I haven't taken any of them and barely know anything about their platform, so do you have anything more substantial to explain why? I completed Sophia's math courses on a whim recently; I thought that while the overall presentation and ease of demonstrating what you already know were both high points, the lack of practice problems could be troublesome for students learning the material for the first time.
I'm in Sophia's Algebra Fundamentals class, and I've taken ALEKS. Like Barbie, I find "Math is hard." Without the exercises to hammer in the concepts, I find this hard going. My plan is to find Schaum's Outline books. They do things step-by-step and that helped me in economics many decades ago.
