labster cost on study.com? - wow - 07-27-2024

I did a search about Labster cost when doing lab courses on study.com, and the only post I found here was from 2021 saying that it's usually $69. Does anyone have a more recent figure? And is this fee per lab course, or is it a subscription where, if you are taking multiple lab courses, you can do labs for both/all of them under one price If you complete them within a set time frame?

I hope I didn't write lobster anywhere. Computer really wants me to.

Yeah, that sounds about right... They had it initially at $49, then $59, now $69. I don't think the pricing has changed for a while now... My gosh, the pricing scheme changed for StraighterLine classes the same way, by $10 increments! I would skip science labs from either of these in favor of the ones at Sophia.org unless you're going for a class that they don't currently have, as Sophia.org should have the price included in the monthly subscription already...

Thanks. Nephew is looking at Chem 2 since it doesn't seem to be offered anywhere else for cheap. So for one class it's not terrible. But we thought if it was a subscription price, then he could go ahead and take another lab as well. If he needs to pay separately for each lab, then yes, Sophia looks better.
