Ed4Credit Wrote:Hi All, there are a number of factors in our pricing.
1) We are a small mom & pop company. My husband and I own Ed4Credit. Study and SL have deeper pockets and financial backing that we don't have. Maybe someday we can be one of the big boys too. LOL
2) For a company that doesn't currently offer subscriptions, we are one of the cheapest (i.e. Sophia, Propero, etc.). If you are planning to take a number of courses per month, you will be better off with Study or SL, but if you don't have the time for that, our courses come out better. If you take one course with SL ($99 + $49 + Textbook) and/or you take longer than a month to do the class, we are cheaper. The same goes for Study if you only take one class per month, they are $199 per month. If you only have time to complete one course per month Ed4Credit is the answer. BTW... when you sign up for one of our courses you have up to 120 days (4 months) to get it complete (just in case "life" happens).
So with that alll said, we are cheaper if you are only taking one course per month or if you want longer to finish a class. It's all in your perspective! LOL
Tell us more about the history of how your company came to be. I'm sure back in the early part of 2000 my IL community college offered Ed4Credit online courses, and my current NC community college offers tons of them.... of course none hold ACE eval, so I can see that being new, but did you guys buy out the company or what?
