IT Certification Exam Comparison
Compare every certification we cover — 67 exams across 4 vendors (AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, and CompTIA) in one place. Filter by career track to see only the certifications relevant to the field you're aiming for — security, AI/ML, data, cloud infrastructure, development, and more — filter by level, or search for a specific exam code. Official exam registration fees (what the vendor charges to sit the exam) range from $99 to $439 depending on vendor and level — shown for every exam below.
For each exam you can also see how many official domains it's organised into and how many expert-verified practice questions we offer. Every certification includes a free 15-question sample (no signup), and full access to our study material is a one-time $19 — the same price for every exam here, separate from what the vendor charges for the exam itself.

Career track is our own classification of what each exam covers; certification level and exam price come from the vendor's own tiering (CompTIA prices each exam individually rather than by tier). Domain counts come from each vendor's official exam guide; practice-question counts are our expert-verified banks. Prices are official US list prices and don't include tax or regional variation — check the vendor before you book. Pick an exam to open its full breakdown and free practice questions.
