CertGrid review
Web-based IT certification practice with a free tier and one-time paid access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CertGrid is a web-based practice platform for people preparing for IT certification exams in areas such as cloud, security, networking, Linux, and Kubernetes. Its question banks are mapped to exam objectives, and study tools include timed exam attempts, explanations for correct answers and distractors, readiness scoring by domain, weak-domain drills, and progress tracking. It is aimed at individual learners and small teams seeking structured practice rather than a broader training platform.
The plans make it possible to start without paying: Free includes 20 practice questions per exam, repeat attempts on the same set, basic explanations, and readiness and weak-domain analysis. The Single Exam Pass costs $14.99 one-time for one selected exam, adding unlimited practice, full explanations, domain trend analytics, and exam history. Pro Monthly is $19.99 one-time for a fixed access period, while Pro Annual is $119 one-time; both cover all exams and include unlimited practice, unlimited full exams, exam history, and domain trend analytics. The annual plan highlights do not include full explanations. Prices vary by region.
CertGrid’s strongest fit is a learner focused on a specific certification who wants objective-linked practice and progress signals without recurring billing. The free tier offers a limited sample, while the single-exam pass keeps paid access focused; all-exam plans suit learners preparing across several tracks. It is less suitable for people who need a mobile app or want adaptive practice. The product is web-only, and question-bank size varies by exam, so learners should consider whether the exam they need has sufficient coverage for their preparation. Email is the listed support channel.
