Evidence checked
Two subscription courses, with different strengths. Compare current price, study content, learning tools and the trade-offs that can actually change your decision.
Our verdict
Zutobi is the stronger pick for offline, game-like study. Drivings is the more complete fit if hazard perception and full narrated chapters are part of your plan.
At a glance
Headline prices can hide billing periods, access limits and the learning tools you will use every day.

Decision guide
Start with the constraint that matters most to your study routine.
Drivings publishes 100+ real-world clips with timing feedback. Zutobi’s current UK materials do not list a hazard-perception module.
Drivings is the clearer fit
Zutobi says its mobile course works offline after the content has downloaded. Drivings currently needs a connection.
Zutobi has the advantage
Zutobi leans into points, levels and leaderboards. Drivings is organised around a study plan, progress and test-style practice.

| What to compare | Drivings | Zutobi |
|---|---|---|
| Study content | ||
Question bank More useful than a raw count is whether questions match the current UK syllabus and explain the answer. | 800+ test-style questions Mapped to the current syllabus and Highway Code, with an explanation for every answer.[2] | 700+ DVSA revision questions Zutobi says every question is licensed from DVSA and includes a detailed explanation.[4] |
Highway Code learning Some learners want a condensed course; others prefer to work from the full source material. | Syllabus-mapped chapters Lessons and explanations are built around the Highway Code rather than presented as a replacement copy.[2] | Summarised Highway Code Bite-sized theory chapters combine a condensed Highway Code with questions and illustrations.[4] |
Hazard perception The official test has a separate scored hazard-perception section that must also be passed. | 100+ real-world clips Practice follows the test’s 0–5 timing model and gives feedback on each attempt.[1] | |
Audio study Narration makes it possible to revise while travelling or when long-form reading is difficult. | Full narrated chapters Every theory chapter is narrated end to end for hands-free revision.[1] | |
| Learning approach | ||
Study structure A useful plan should make the next step obvious instead of leaving you with a large content library. | Personalised study plan Setup captures the test goal and study preferences, then organises practice into a focused plan.[1] | Bite-sized course path Short theory chapters are followed by questions and exam-like tests.[4] |
Weak-area practice Targeting missed topics is more efficient than repeating an entire question bank. | Missed-question drills A new practice set can be rebuilt from questions missed in the previous mock.[3] | Detailed topic statistics Zutobi says its statistics identify the road rules and signs that still need work.[7] |
Motivation system The best learning loop is the one that keeps you returning consistently. | Plan, progress and streaks Progress is organised around study activity and test readiness.[1] | Points, levels and leaderboards Zutobi explicitly uses game mechanics and friend competition.[4] |
Mock exams Repeated timed mocks show whether knowledge holds up under test conditions. | Unlimited timed mocks Mocks follow the current theory-test structure and include detailed results.[3] | |
| Access and value | ||
Offline study Offline access is useful on commutes, in low-signal areas and when conserving mobile data. | Connection required Lessons, questions and clips currently load through the online service.[1] | Works offline Zutobi says no internet connection is required after the app data has downloaded.[7] |
Supported UK categories Multi-category access matters to riders, vocational drivers and ADI candidates. | Car, Motorcycle, LGV/PCV and ADI Zutobi lists courses for the main UK theory-test categories.[5] | |
Published pricing The billing period and renewal model matter as much as the headline price. | £69.99/year or £2.99/week Annual starts with a 7-day trial; weekly is charged immediately. Both auto-renew until cancelled.[1] | |
Pass guarantee Guarantees usually require substantial completion evidence and a claim within a short window. | Conditional pass-or-refund The account must be in good standing and show the required course and practice completion before the first attempt.[1] | Only on marked plans Requires the entire course, a test within 30 days of activation and a claim within 7 days; reimbursement is the latest Zutobi Plus payment.[9] |
