Oposilab vs an oposiciones academy: price, classes, doubts and tests with public data
Data checked on 18 September 2026
An academy and Oposilab do not compete on the same thing. The academy sells tutor hours, a group and a calendar. Oposilab sells a study tool with the indexed syllabus, tests and an AI tutor that cites the article. Many candidates combine both.
Since “academy” is not one specific company, prices come from two public sources: the range published by OpositaTest’s blog for Auxiliar Administrativo del Estado and the course sheet of one specific academy, IPAO.
| Aspect | Oposilab | una academia |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Pro €19 per month or €149 per year; Pro Max €29 per month. Free plan with no card. | Between €90 and €160 per month for Auxiliar Administrativo del Estado according to OpositaTest’s blog. Example: IPAO charges €125 per month plus a €30 enrolment fee (free if you enrol before the start).[1] |
| Classes with a tutor | No classes and no human tutor. | Yes. IPAO delivers 18 hours per month, Monday 17:00 to 20:00 and Wednesday 17:00 to 18:30, in person and online, with recorded classes.[2] |
| Study material | Official syllabus preloaded and indexed article by article, checked every week against the BOE. You do not upload PDFs. | In-house digital material delivered gradually: syllabus, tests, practical cases, legislation and supplementary material (IPAO).[2] |
| Doubt solving | AI tutor at any hour, answering from the syllabus and citing the article: 10 messages per day on Free and 200 on Pro. | Teacher in class and forums for doubts (IPAO).[2] |
| Tests and mock exams | Topic tests with explanation and citation, mock exams with the call’s structure and AI-marked practical cases. | Tests and practical cases included in the material (IPAO).[2] |
| Schedule and pace | At your own pace, no timetable. Designed for studying in gaps, also while working. | Fixed class timetable with recordings for those who cannot attend (IPAO).[2] |
| Commitment | Monthly, cancellable from the account. Free plan with no end date. | Monthly fee plus enrolment; IPAO’s course starts in September 2026.[2] |
When una academia makes sense
- You need the discipline of a timetable and a tutor who follows you.
- Your exam has oral or essay exercises that require human marking.
- You learn better in a group and with live classes.
When Oposilab makes sense
- Your budget does not reach €90 per month.
- You study while working and cannot commit to a timetable.
- You want to check every answer with the article in front of you.
- You already attend an academy and want tests, mock exams and a tutor for doubts between classes.
Frequently asked questions
Does Oposilab replace the academy?
For multiple-choice exams it can be the main tool if you have your own discipline. For essay, oral or written case exercises marked by a board, a human tutor still adds something the AI does not.
How much do I save?
With the cited prices, an academy costs between €90 and €160 per month and Oposilab Pro €19 per month or €149 per year. The real difference depends on what you need: if you need a tutor, it is not a saving, it is a different thing.
Can I use Oposilab with my academy’s material?
Oposilab does not accept uploaded PDFs: it uses its own indexed official syllabus. You can use it for tests, mock exams and doubts while studying with the academy’s material.
