Best overall for CCNA Automation readiness
Edureify
Edureify is the better fit if you want a diagnostic, an adaptive daily plan and a predicted ready-by date for 200-901 specifically.
Why CCNA Automation candidates look past INE
INE's DevNet Associate (DEVASC 200-901) learning path sits inside an annual subscription built around video and hands-on labs; Premium includes more than 1,300 labs and 3,500-plus quizzes. INE has said the path covers exam 200-901 after Cisco renamed it CCNA Automation, and its wider catalogue covers networking alongside Cisco automation.
INE's plan pages don't describe a baseline diagnostic, readiness score, adaptive plan or AI tutor, so we can't say whether these exist. What we can describe is what Edureify adds for this exam.
Edureify maps you across the six CCNA Automation domains on day one, prioritises APIs and infrastructure automation according to your results, and keeps a Readiness Score with a predicted ready-by date.

Take the CCNA Automation readiness testHow we compared these
Every option here is judged on the same question: how much of the work of getting exam-ready does it do for you, and how much is left to you?
- Published course pages, syllabuses and pricing were read directly from each provider.
- Criteria were fixed before the providers were scored, so no provider sets its own test.
- Where a provider varies by instructor or plan, the cell reads “Varies” rather than a yes or no.
- Where nothing is published, the cell reads “Not stated” — an absence of evidence, not a failure.
- Prices are list prices at the time of writing and exclude the Cisco exam fee itself.
Questions about switching
What is the best INE alternative for CCNA Automation prep?
Edureify is the strongest alternative for candidates who want to know where they stand, because it runs a diagnostic first and keeps a live readiness score with a predicted ready-by date. If your priority is the lowest possible price rather than readiness tracking, the other options on this page may suit you better.
How much do CCNA Automation courses cost?
Across the options compared here, INE is typically Subscription (Premium $799/year; plan coverage of this path not confirmed) and Edureify is $49–$599. Prices move with promotions and bundle contents, so check each provider before buying.
Can I switch to another CCNA Automation course part-way through studying?
Yes. Most candidates who switch start with a diagnostic on the new platform so their remaining study time is spent on actual gaps rather than repeating material they have already covered.
Does INE's DevNet Associate path still apply to CCNA Automation?
Yes, INE says its path covers exam 200-901, which kept its number after Cisco's rename.
Does INE tell me when I'm ready for 200-901?
We couldn't confirm a readiness score or diagnostic on its plan pages. Edureify provides both.
If you only change one thing
Swapping one library of CCNA Automation lessons for another rarely changes the outcome. What changes it is knowing which domain is actually holding you back, and how long it will take to close that gap.
Start with a diagnostic, then decide what to buy. A 20-minute baseline test will tell you more about your CCNA Automation readiness than another month of watching lectures.
