The ones I mentioned are all similar in that they tend to work with people who have jobs (or are "employable" already) and help them get better jobs.
Whether it is needed or not is a personal decision based on your goals and motivations and what works for you. For many it's not needed.
I don't know Scalar specifically and how they work internally, so maybe it's not as good as Formation, but I feel like Formation is very valuable if you need the services we offer. I use the "personal trainer" analogy a lot for fitness and getting in shape. For some people it's useful and some it's not. At Formation, we're building out a platform and methodology that we think will work for a very wide range of people, and eventually different price points. If we can't deliver value to people, our company shouldn't exist.
