In the early stages of tackling the GMAT for the first time and I had a question about memberships for these two services. The first thing I did was purchase a Magoosh premium account because I was instructed that it was the best bang for your buck. Since, I have checked out some of the free content provided by E-gmat.
Wouldn't mind if someone were to let me know if I am wrong, but it seems as if Magoosh really goes in deep to some topics and teaches each topic so in depth that it may be a bit excessive as opposed to E-gmat that gives you GMAT specific insights on topics and really hammers home some key concepts that you will need for GMAT specific. Though I haven't heard much hype about E-gmat offerings it seemed to be pretty insightful and gave great examples that could translate easier on test day.
TL;DR: Is Magoosh's depth too much. Does E-Gmat provide not enough depth?

Hi thomaskeith,
When it comes to studying for the GMAT, there are a variety of different options - and the specifics of your particular situation will help to dictate what's "best" for you. Most GMAT Companies offer some type of free materials (practice problems, Trial Accounts, videos, etc.) that you can use to 'test out' a product before you buy it. We have a variety of those resources at our website (www.empowergmat.com). I suggest that you take advantage of all of them then choose the one that best matches your personality, timeline and budget.
Beyond that, before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
Goals:
3) What is your goal score?
4) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

The verbal course in Magoosh is in very depth and could be really exhaustive. The whole appearances are quite impressive where you can select the amount and type of question you want to attempt. They are offering free 20 question, you can login and access the interface. But but the email assistance they provide is very very limited, which they have not mentioned. I had an premium account and more than a month was remaining before the completion of the package. I unknowingly send many queries related to particular topic. As expected I got message from them to limit my queries, and since I only had 1 month left they didnot offered me any email assistance after that.
Apart from that very good tutors, who explain each query in a very nice and simple way.
You can try empowergmat, it is a nice product and very decent explanation, email assistance as well. You can get free 1 hour access where you can actually look inside.
E-gmat- well I did not liked it, as every person has got different perspective and it did not suited me.
Optimus prep- Good explanation, plenty of question no email assistance no free trial. The CAT questions that appear on screen are very small and it is really difficult to read it.
Well it is my point of view, the final decision is totally yours and whenever possible check what best suits you.
