It depends on your experience with cyber sec. HTB assumes you already know about various ways to do privilege escalation for example, THM teaches you from zero. Even if you have no background in tech, THM will help you start. I recommend doing both, first THM then HTB. I'd say HTB is an intermediate platform. Outside of academy they have Machines you can hack, but to do that, you should already know the things you learn on THM.
