Colibri vs AceableAgent: which should you buy?
AceableAgent posts the better regulator-published pass rate by a wide margin — but only covers 17 states. Where both are available, that is the real trade-off: proven outcomes against a cheaper, more widely available alternative.
65.8% first-attempt pass rate in Texas against a 56.1% state average — but only 17 states carry pre-licensing at all.

Choose Colibri if…
- Your state is not one of Aceable’s 17 — check its list first, since this decides everything else.
- You want the cheaper course and a guarantee that pays out after one failed attempt, not three.
- You do not specifically need a mobile-first study experience.
Choose AceableAgent if…
- You are in one of its 17 states — AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, MI, NY, NC, OH, PA, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA.
- You study primarily on a phone and want a genuine dedicated app, not a responsive website.
- The Texas pass-rate data matters to you and your state’s cohort is likely to resemble it.
The bottom line
This comparison only exists for the minority of readers in one of Aceable’s 17 states. There, its Texas pass-rate advantage is the strongest evidence-based argument for any provider on this site, and the mobile app is a real differentiator if you study in short bursts. Everywhere else, Colibri is not a close second — it is the only one of the two actually available.

Common questions
Does Aceable's 65.8% pass rate apply outside Texas?
We do not have an equivalent independently published figure for its other states. Treat it as a Texas finding, not a national guarantee.
Why is Aceable not available everywhere if it performs so well?
Pre-licensing course approval is state by state and unrelated to course quality. Aceable has simply sought approval in fewer states than Colibri or Kaplan.
Is PrepAgent the same as AceableAgent?
PrepAgent is Aceable’s own exam-prep arm, bundled into its Deluxe and Premium tiers. It is not a separate, independent product.
