They have 4 of their courses listed so far: calculus, astronomy, psychology and statistics.

Why, though? They have credits through the University of Philadelphia or something like that. University credits > ACE credits.

Outlier.org seems to have money to spend on something that may or may not help students. I think they want to help by having extra credit recommendations, but it really isn't too necessary as they are partnering with a few universities already. I guess they want the extra value they think they're providing with that extra credit recommendation, maybe even more exposure to schools as ACE has so many that are part of their network...

Yes, University of Pittsburgh, actually. Same state.
And it seems that those credits on a transcript from an RA university would carry more weight than ACE credits so that feels a bit like a waste of time.

Weird flex when your courses are already accredited but okay I guess

$400/course for RA credit is a decent deal (good to many). $400/course for ACE credit is WAY too expensive. No clue why they would do this. None.
