Compare Language Learning Apps
Independent, side-by-side reviews of the leading language apps. Pricing, teaching method, language catalogue and free trials — everything you need to pick the right app for the way you actually learn.
What to look for in a language app
The "best" language app depends entirely on what kind of learner you are. Some apps are great for vocabulary, others for grammar, others for getting you talking quickly. We assess each app on the four things that matter most: teaching method (is it actually effective?), pricing & value (does the subscription justify itself?), language coverage (is your target language properly supported?) and platform quality (does the app work, and stay out of your way?).
We sign up to each app, run real lessons in at least one language, and revisit our reviews regularly so that pricing and feature information stays current. Where we earn an affiliate commission from a referral, this is clearly disclosed and does not affect our editorial ranking.
Side-by-side comparison
Each app is scored on the same criteria so the comparison is fair and meaningful. Click through to a full review for the detailed methodology behind each score.
How we evaluate apps

Pricing & Value
Subscription costs, free trial terms, value per hour of study time.

Languages supported, depth per language, low-resource language handling.
Platform Quality
UX, performance, offline support, ads, account experience.
Affiliate Disclosure
LearnLanguages may earn a commission when you sign up for an app via our links. This does not affect what you pay or our editorial assessments. Our scoring methodology is identical for affiliate and non-affiliate apps. Where an app does not currently have an affiliate relationship with us, we still review it on its merits.
