Those three have a consistent historical record of students finding success. They have audited outcomes. And plenty of alum stories on here to back said data. "double most other bootcamps" is overstated. Unless you're comparing to literal self paced bootcamps that have no i

I commented below but I strongly disagree that outcomes are a justification for cost without knowing where the dollars actually go and why. The biggest problem in the botocamp industry, that might even take it down this year, is that people are paying for a curriculum and instruction but think they are paying for the outcome. If you think this way, please, please, please do not go to a bootcamp before understanding what you are actually paying for and if you think that's the right thing for you. The outcome is a symptom of something the program is doing and you are actually paying for the "something" - figure out what the "something" is that you are paying for and why it's more expensive at some programs than others.
