Pick the one that matches how you learn
- You're starting from zero and want lessons that teach the topics, not only questions.
- You want timed practice exams weighted by topic like the current FAA test.
- You want an AI tutor to explain a wrong answer on the spot.
- You want a pass guarantee: if you meet the conditions and still fail, $69 back + $175.
- You also plan to do paid drone work: the Drone Business Kit is included.
- You already know the material and only need question practice: $19.99 is hard to beat.
- You want native iPhone/iPad and Android apps.
- You already use Sporty's Pilot Training app for other ratings.
- You value buying from one of the best-known names in aviation training.
- You're on a tight budget and are comfortable studying without a guarantee.
The honest take
Sporty's is one of the most trusted names in aviation, and its Remote Pilot Test Prep is good value at $19.99: questions by topic with explanations, flashcards and 60-question practice tests, on the web and in its apps. If you already understand airspace, weather and the rules and just need reps, it may be all you need.
Rotate's Part 107 Pass costs more because it does more: 32 short lessons in 8 modules, 470+ practice questions with explanations, full 60-question timed practice exams weighted by topic like the current FAA test, an AI tutor, 543 flashcards and the Drone Business Kit (10 client-ready templates). It's built for people who want to be taught the material and then tested on it, in one place.
It also comes with a pass guarantee that has conditions: finish the course and score 85%+ on 3 full practice exams in the 30 days before your test. If you still fail on the first attempt, you get your $69 back plus $175 toward the retest. Sporty's product page doesn't mention a pass guarantee.
The FAA test fee is about $175 either way. In 2025 about 1 in 6 Part 107 knowledge test attempts failed (FAA data: 82.96% passed), and a retake means another fee and a 14-day wait. If you're unsure which you need, answer 10 free practice questions first: if most are easy, a question bank may be enough.
FAQ
Is Rotate Pilot or Sporty's better for the FAA Part 107 exam?▾
They do different jobs. Sporty's Remote Pilot Test Prep ($19.99) is a question-bank app with flashcards and practice tests. Rotate's Part 107 Pass ($69 once) is a full course with lessons, a 470+-question bank, timed practice exams, an AI tutor and a conditional pass guarantee.

Does Sporty's have a Part 107 video course?▾
Its drones page lists the Remote Pilot Test Prep (questions, flashcards, practice tests and study guides), not a Sporty's Part 107 video course. Check sportys.com for anything newer.
How does Rotate's pass guarantee work?▾
Finish the course and score 85% or higher on 3 full-length simulations within the 30 days before your FAA test. If you still don't pass on your first attempt, send us your test report within 30 days and we refund 100% of what you paid and send you $175 toward your retest.

Only if you need more than questions. The Part 107 Pass adds 32 lessons, full timed practice exams weighted like the FAA test, an AI tutor, the Drone Business Kit and a pass guarantee with conditions. A failed FAA attempt costs about $175 and 14 days, so if you are starting from zero the extra can pay for itself. If you already know the material, Sporty's is the smarter buy.
Who should pick Sporty's over Rotate Pilot?▾
Pick Sporty's if you already know the material and just want inexpensive question practice, if you want native mobile apps, or if you already use Sporty's Pilot Training app. For that job it's a very good product at a low price.
