Language learning apps: devices, free plans and prices

Start from the device you actually use, then check that your platform appears in the app's entry. This page puts the makers' declarations next to the sources, so you can see what's confirmed. A missing platform doesn't mean the app lacks it — it means there's no verified declaration to show. I haven't run hands-on tests, and I don't score features.

For languages, check the course starts from a language you know and covers the one you want to learn. A free desktop version doesn't imply a free mobile one. Look at whether your plan includes the learning material you're after: the price alone doesn't describe the method.

The maker declares these platforms: iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux. It also declares a free plan, though that statement doesn't establish which features it includes. Before choosing, open the source and check what the version for your device requires.

The sources don't yet confirm which platforms Busuu runs on. The maker declares a free plan, but that statement doesn't establish which features it includes. Before choosing, open the source and check the requirements for your device.

The maker declares iOS and Android as platforms. It also declares a free plan, though that statement doesn't establish which features it includes. Before choosing, open the source and check what the version for your device requires.

The sources don't yet confirm which platforms LingQ runs on. The maker declares a free plan, but that statement doesn't establish which features it includes. Before choosing, open the source and check the requirements for your device.

The sources don't yet confirm which platforms Memrise runs on. The maker declares a free plan, but that statement doesn't establish which features it includes. Before choosing, open the source and check the requirements for your device.

A free plan, a time-limited trial and a subscription are three different things. Check the official price list for the limits of the plan you want, and whether you pay monthly, yearly or once. A missing price stays unverified; it doesn't become zero. Listed prices apply to the selected market and don't prove every version of the same app costs the same.

Before moving important data, read the official documentation on export, synchronisation and offline access. If these features aren't among the verified facts, this page doesn't attribute them to the app. Check the interface language and your country's store terms too. A good choice depends on your task and your devices, not on the lowest price alone.
