Unfortunately, DSST doesn't have a comparable program. Every few months, they do run promotions that allow for one free re-take of an exam if it take it within a certain period. I believe they were running this promotion from August to the end of September. It may still be going on. You'll have to pay the test center fee again, but the re-take voucher would be free.
It's still well worth the price though. $30 per credit hour is cheaper than anywhere else you'll find, especially for upper level credits. The only thing I don't like is that fewer people take DSSTs than CLEPs, so it harder to find study material that directly corresponds to the tests. The tests themselves are fairly easy though. Most tests have a pass rate of 60-70%, which is comparable to CLEP tests.
