Our verdict

Gurully offers 150+ full PTE mocks, they say, from US$20 (A$30) for 7 days in the app, and its website is cheaper still in India at ₹550 plus GST. Go in knowing three things: there are no refunds under any circumstances, buying again erases your earlier attempts, and IELTS, Duolingo and CELPIP are web-only. If you want a refund policy or IELTS on your phone, look elsewhere.

We make BandLadder, a competing IELTS and PTE platform, so read this with that in mind. We read gurully.com, its pricing and terms pages, and its App Store and Google Play listings on the date above. We did not buy a plan, so we do not rate its scoring accuracy. Gurully is a trademark of its owner, and BandLadder is not affiliated with it. Prices and features change: check gurully.com before you buy.

What Gurully is

Gurully is run by Gurully Technologies LLP in Ahmedabad, which says it started in 2019. It covers PTE Academic and PTE Core, computer-delivered IELTS Academic and General Training, the Duolingo English Test and CELPIP.

The mobile app is PTE-only: Gurully's homepage says IELTS, Duolingo and CELPIP practice is only on the web. It also sells white-label software to coaching institutes.

What you get

  • •AI scoring for PTE, Duolingo and CELPIP, which they say follows each exam's official scoring pattern.
  • •150+ full-length PTE mocks and 100+ section-wise tests per section, they say; 80+ full IELTS mocks.
  • •30,000+ practice questions, they say.
  • •Monthly PTE prediction files for Prime members.
  • •IELTS writing and speaking: the homepage FAQ says experts mark them within 24 hours, but the IELTS page describes AI scoring, so check which applies before you buy.
  • •No live classes; a free IELTS webinar is advertised.

Gurully price in 2026

Gurully sells "Prime Membership" for one exam at a time, and plans do not auto-renew. In the app you pay your local App Store price. Its website lists prices in rupees with GST added at checkout, about half the Indian app price.

Plan7 days15 days30 days60 days
PTE, iPhone app, USUS$20US$25US$40US$50
PTE, iPhone app, AustraliaA$30A$39A$60A$80

IELTS or CELPIP, website (rupees, plus GST)₹200₹300₹500₹800

App prices from the App Store listings in the US, Australia and India; other countries see their own App Store price. Website prices from gurully.com/pricing, which showed rupees only; the GST rate is not stated.

Is Gurully free?

Partly. A free account gets a small taste of everything, but most scoring needs Prime:

  • ✓1 scored PTE mock test.
  • ✓Practice questions with limited scoring across the 30,000+ bank.
  • ✓5 AI speaking scores a day and 3 AI writing scores in total (one-time), per the pricing table; the app listing says 10 free AI-scoring coupons a day.
  • ✓One free full-length IELTS mock on sign-up, per its IELTS page.

What Gurully does well

  • +Very low web prices for PTE in India, and short 7-day plans.
  • +A large mock library: 150+ full PTE mocks, they say.
  • +Covers Duolingo and CELPIP, which most PTE platforms do not.
  • +No auto-renewal, so you are never charged again by surprise.
  • +Trustpilot reviewers praise realistic PTE mocks and responsive support.

Where it falls short

  • −Strict zero-refund policy: "No refunds under any circumstances", per its terms.
  • −Buying a plan again erases your earlier attempts and data, per its pricing page.
  • −In India, the iPhone app costs about twice the website price (₹2,500 vs ₹1,100 plus GST for 30 days of PTE).
  • −IELTS, Duolingo and CELPIP are web-only.
  • −Low app ratings: 3.4 on Google Play from 83 reviews, and 1.0 to 1.9 on the US and Australian App Stores from a handful of ratings.
  • −Store and Trustpilot complaints mention lost progress after upgrading, speaking scores that seemed too generous, and refund disputes.

Gurully suits you if…

  • →You are in India, preparing for PTE only, and price is the deciding factor.
  • →You will practise on a laptop and buy on the website.
  • →You also need Duolingo or CELPIP practice.

Look elsewhere if…

  • →You want a refund option if the platform does not suit you.
  • →You want IELTS practice in a mobile app.
  • →You plan to renew and want to keep your attempt history.
  • →You are outside India and want to pay on the web in your own currency rather than at App Store prices.
