Casa Academy's online Florida sales associate package is $199 on the live enroll page (https://casaacademy.com/enroll/florida-63-hour-pre-licensing-course), while FLCAA lists Basic at $116.20 (list $166), Premium at $175 (list $250), and Ultimate at $203 (list $290) for course 0024216 on https://flcaa.com/florida-real-estate-license-course, both opened the same day. Casa's $199 checkout includes the 63-hour course, access until you finish, 650+ practice questions, a ChatGPT tutor in every lesson, and English or Spanish as two full courses, and it leaves DBPR RE 1 ($62.75), fingerprints, and Pearson VUE ($36.75) outside checkout, so the state path still works if you never buy Casa.

Casa Academy $199 vs FLCAA Basic $116.20 (list $166) / Premium $175 (list $250) / Ultimate $203 (list $290) for course 0024216. Fair compare is Premium. School final 70% is not Pearson 75/100. Casa includes and excludes stay on the page.

Competitor: FLCAA

Price check with Basic shown (opened 2026-10-14)

What FLCAA packages publish
On the live FLCAA Florida real estate license course page (https://flcaa.com/florida-real-estate-license-course, opened 2026-10-14), all three packages advertise a 63-hour state-approved course under course number 0024216, narrated online lessons, dedicated instructor support, a 30-day money-back window, and six-month access. Basic is the course-only rung with two school-final attempts. Premium (Most Popular) adds the State Exam Simulator and Digital Flashcards. Ultimate adds unlimited re-activations for the end-of-course exam plus a three-month access extension. FLCAA's six-month access clock is the access contrast with Casa, which publishes access until you finish with no fixed six-month clock on the enroll pages opened the same day. This page does not treat FLCAA marketing claims about school pass rates as Florida facts. Pearson still grades the state exam at 75 correct out of 100 scored questions.

What Casa Academy includes (checked 2026-10-14)
Public tuition on the English and Spanish enroll pages is $199 for the current cohort (sources: https://casaacademy.com/enroll/florida-63-hour-pre-licensing-course and https://casaacademy.com/enroll/spanish, opened 2026-10-14). After that cohort fills, the published next price is $249. One payment. Klarna is offered at checkout. The $199 checkout includes the state-required 63-hour DBPR-approved pre-license course (self-paced), access until you finish with no fixed 6-month or 12-month clock, video lessons and slides, a dashboard with chapter quizzes, more than 650 practice questions plus a timed full exam weighted to Florida chapter weights, a ChatGPT tutor (voice and text) inside every lesson, optional Spotify audio, SM-2 flashcards, and English or Spanish as two separate 63-hour courses (English 0032664 and Spanish 0032665 under school license ZH1003169, provider 0010716). The tutor can talk in many languages. The course itself is English or Spanish, not every language. Seven-day refund via support@onlinerealestateschool.com.

What Casa tuition does not include
DBPR RE 1 ($62.75, source: https://www2.myfloridalicense.com/re/documents/DBPR_RE_1_Sales_Associate_Application.pdf, opened 2026-10-14), Livescan fingerprints (provider prices vary), Pearson VUE exam fee ($36.75, source: https://www2.myfloridalicense.com/servop/testing/documents/CBT_exam_admin_Fee_2016.pdf, updated 2022-09-08, opened 2026-10-14), the 45-hour sales associate post-license course, 14-hour continuing education, broker coursework, MLS access, and Realtor association dues are separate. Casa does not sell those state or association fees inside the $199 checkout. FLCAA school tuition also does not replace those state fees. You can complete the 63-hour requirement with any DBPR-approved school; this page stays useful if you never buy Casa.

School final vs the Florida state exam
Florida schools commonly require 70% or higher on the school final before you move on. Casa Academy publishes that 70% school-final bar on its enroll pages. The Florida state exam is given by Pearson VUE: 100 scored questions, about 3.5 hours, 75 correct to pass. Passing the school final earns your pre-license certificate; it is not a Florida license. Do not mix the school final with the state exam. That distinction applies whether you study at Casa, FLCAA, or another DBPR-approved school.

Access window and refunds are school policy, not Florida pass bars
FLCAA publishes six-month access and a 30-day money-back window on the live course page opened 2026-10-14. Casa Academy publishes access until you finish with no fixed six-month clock on the enroll pages opened the same day, plus a 7-day refund window via support@onlinerealestateschool.com. Those lines are school policies. They are not Florida state pass bars and they do not replace Pearson's 75 correct out of 100 scored questions. Re-check each school's live refund and access page before you pay.

How the study experience differs
Casa's $199 package puts the ChatGPT tutor inside every lesson, 650+ practice questions, a timed full exam on Florida chapter weights, and SM-2 flashcards in one checkout, with access until you finish, plus English or Spanish as two full courses. FLCAA packages on the live page advertise narrated online lessons, instructor support, and (on Premium and Ultimate) a State Exam Simulator plus Digital Flashcards, with Ultimate adding unlimited school-final re-activations and a three-month extension, under a six-month access window opened 2026-10-14. Pick the mechanic and access clock you will actually use. Re-check both live pages before you pay.

FAQ
Q: Is Casa Academy cheaper than FLCAA Basic?
A: On 2026-10-14, Casa public tuition was $199 (https://casaacademy.com/enroll/florida-63-hour-pre-licensing-course) and FLCAA Basic was $116.20 with list $166 (https://flcaa.com/florida-real-estate-license-course). Basic can cost less than Casa. Compare Premium $175 (list $250) and Ultimate $203 (list $290) the same way. Re-check both live pages before you pay.

Q: Which FLCAA package is the fair compare to Casa Academy?
A: Premium is the fair study-tools compare because that is where FLCAA puts the State Exam Simulator and Digital Flashcards. Basic is the lower course-only rung. Ultimate adds unlimited school-final re-activations and a three-month access extension that Casa does not sell inside the $199 package.

Q: Does FLCAA or Casa Academy guarantee I will pass the Florida state exam?
A: No. FLCAA publishes a 30-day money-back window, and Casa Academy publishes a 7-day refund. Those are school refund windows. Pearson still requires 75 correct out of 100 scored questions, and neither school line replaces that cut.

Q: Can I get a Florida real estate license without buying Casa Academy?
A: Yes. Finish any DBPR-approved 63-hour course, pass the school final at 70%, file RE 1 for $62.75, complete Livescan, then schedule Pearson VUE for $36.75 after eligibility. Casa is optional.
