Price transparency
Themis's public pricing page listed 2027 exam prep at $2,995 with a limited-time $1,895 price when paid in full, or $2,095 with $25 down, and a separate 10-month course for international candidates and LLM students at $3,895 with limited-time reductions. It says the $25 plan requires no contract, and that promotional prices depend on paying as specified. We did not find a course price on the Helix pages we read, so ask Helix directly and get it in writing.
Access
Themis lists four-month access, March to July for the July exam and November to February for the February exam. Helix says its course opens five months before the exam. A month's difference matters for someone who starts early or stretches the plan around a job.
Multiple-choice practice
Themis lists more than 4,000 multiple-choice questions and an integrated UWorld MBE QBank. UWorld's own page lists more than 1,900 MBE questions including more than 1,150 licensed NCBE questions in its stand-alone bank. Helix says it uses official NCBE practice questions plus NCBE-style questions from its panels of law professors, and that Helix NextGen includes every official NextGen question.
Writing feedback
Themis lists unlimited essay grading with its UGrader closed-system AI grader plus a dedicated attorney essay grader. Helix says its graders are licensed attorneys and describes that as insight AI cannot replicate, without giving a submission limit on the page we read. For writing, ask each how many submissions are included, how fast feedback comes back, and who grades.
Planning and coaching
Themis lists a study planner with an adaptive calendar, a progress tracker and a personalized support team. Helix lists an adaptive study plan, recommended 10-, 12-, 16- and 20-week schedules, and free one-on-one coaching calls with a licensed Attorney Director. Both promise adaptation. Test whether the plan actually moves when you fall behind.
Claims to check
Themis says its published pass rates are superior. Helix states a 90 percent pass rate on the July 2025 UBE. Ask each for the denominator, whether repeat takers are separated, and how the number is verified.
