Someone is asking which provider to take English I and II requirements, they're into just these two providers (they can't take CLEP, DSST, and don't want to go through any other option such as TECEP as they're international). They don't have a membership with StraighterLine but will be getting one for Sophia and/or Study.com anyways.
I don't know the answer as I took mine at StraighterLine ages ago... I like both Sophia.org and Study.com as alternatives to StraighterLine, my recommendation is to take a look at the number of assignments or touchstones and decide there, I think I will lean towards Sophia.org unless you favor a final exam over assignments/quizzes. Hmm...
You should review their website for reviews/testimonials, both seem very good compared to StraighterLine
Let's compare: Sophia.org I = 14 challenges + 5 touchstones, II = 9 challenges + 7 touchstones
Study.com ENG 204: 104 lessons, Final, 5 assignments, ENG 205: 81 lessons, Final, 6 assignments
Edit to Add: For the price, I think Sophia.org is great, Study.com would be an option if you're doing up to 5/month
So... You should also look at the grading time to both and see which one may be faster, not just cheaper or easier
