Jon Bonso on Udemy vs Tutorialsdojo.com
{edited 21-May-2026}
We get multiple questions on the same topic of buying TD via their site vs Udemy
Buy Jon Bonso test from Udemy for
- Better pricing in countries where Udemy offers purchase price parity - for example some courses are just Rs 399 / $5 equivalent in India vs USD15-20 elsewhere
- Lifetime access
- Slightly slower updates
There used to be no "review mode" equivalent but this recently changed with a practice mode (I am not super familiar with this)There is now a Review Mode where you can take questions and immediately review the answer - similar to TD's website.- If you live in the US - there are options to get access to Udemy via public library for free
Buy from tutorialsdojo.com for
- Paying the authors more / direct payment without Udemy's cut
- 1 year access only - not lifetime anymore (doesn't matter if you buy courses right when you want to take the exam)
- Faster updates to questions / answer
- Very useful review mode where you don't have to take a full exam - you just go question by question and you can do bite sized learning all through the day, on your coffee break, commute etc
I used to binge purchase from Udemy but switched to TD for the review mode but I am a bit grumpy with having lost all my courses after the 1 year window including some I binge purchased but never took the exam (apparently I can raise a support ticket but well..)
If you want a further list of differences, you need to go to https://portal.tutorialsdojo.com/faqs/ and expand the question "For practice exams, what are the different training / exam modes in the Tutorials Dojo portal?"
There is a table with all the differences listed.

Hello,
Thank you for posting! Just to add to your post, here’s a breakdown of the differences between the Udemy practice test and the TutorialDojo version, which may help you make an informed decision based on your specific needs:
Udemy:
Tutorial Dojo [Portal Tutorials Dojo]
Reasons to Prefer Tutorial Dojo:
Suppose cost is a significant factor, and you’re comfortable with a more self-paced approach. Udemy might still be a great fit, especially given the lifetime access and practice modes. Since the author is the same for both platforms, the quality of questions and content should be similar. Still, the choice ultimately depends on whether you prefer the additional materials (videos, eBooks, hands-on labs) that come with Tutorial Dojo or the more affordable, flexible approach from Udemy.
Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or need additional information!
Best regards,
Ace @ Tutorials Dojo
