In short

Aceable

Video and game-style lessons with an AI study helper (Ace Mode); audio read-along was confirmed on the California page only. Offers a money-back guarantee in California, but no 'guaranteed to pass' promise was found, and Spanish, parent tools and behind-the-wheel booking were not confirmed.

Virtual Drive of Texas

Cheap parent-taught option with instructor-narrated video lessons and a stated pass guarantee (score 90% on their practice test and they guarantee a DPS written-test pass). Spanish is offered only for the adult course; the site sells a separate 'Teen Behind-The-Wheel Only' course but booking of in-car lessons was not confirmed.

The best course depends on your state, budget and how your teen learns. The quiz ranks every approved option.
