Our verdict on each
Edusity
Edusity suits language learners and business learners who want broad app-based courses with a completion certificate and a money-back window. Entry runs at $14.99 and full lifetime access at $999, so short study periods stay cheap.
phase6
This app is the pick for self studiers who want broad language choice at the lowest entry point in the group. It suits learners who will practise daily in the app and who like a family plan, and the annual option at €35.99 to €59.99 keeps renewal low.

Pros and cons
Edusity
Pros
- Entry price of $14.99 keeps the first course cheap compared with £25
- 1,300 courses spanning business and languages, taught through the app
- A 14 days money-back period gives room to try a course before deciding
Cons
- There is no free tier, and the free trial runs 0 days, so sampling costs a payment
- A completion certificate is the only type listed under completion
- Money-back terms sit at 14 days against a 68 rank on that measure
phase6
Pros
- Entry price of €0 and monthly billing of €3 to €5 sit well under the €9.49 group median.
- A free tier and a 7 days trial let you try the app before paying anything.
- A 14 days money back period is longer than the 14-day lower quartile in this group.
Cons
- A 14 days money back period ranks near the back of this group at 20 of 29, so a long trial is the safer first test.
- A 7 days free trial also sits low at 8 of 21, shorter than the 14-day group upper quartile.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no live chat or phone line listed.
Who each suits
Edusity
Who it suits
- Language learners covering English, French and Arabic who study in short daily sessions
- Business learners who want business and languages training in the app
- Learners who want a 14 days money-back period before paying full price
Who should look elsewhere
- Learners wanting a free tier, since the free trial runs 0 days
- Anyone after university credit, as cpd lists continuing professional development only
phase6
Who it suits
- Self taught learners who want a free start and decide later whether to pay
- Households planning to share a single family subscription across several learners
- Learners of the older or classical languages in Arabic, Chinese and Danish, such as Latin or Ancient Greek
Who should look elsewhere
- Learners who want a longer free trial than 7 days to judge the app properly
- Anyone who needs live chat or phone support, since contact runs on email and help centre only
- Learners who want Spanish or Japanese structured drilling rather than a general app, where Bunpro or SpanishPod101 fit more closely
Questions about each
Edusity
How much does it cost to start?+
The entry price is $14.99 for a course, well below the €18.59 monthly median across the brands on this site. A full lifetime access option is listed at $999, which suits learners who expect to study for a long stretch.
Is there a free tier or free trial?+
There is no free tier. The free trial length is 0 days, so learners who want to browse without paying have little to sample. The 14 days money-back period is the more useful opening for anyone cautious about committing.
phase6
What does this app cost to start?+
Entry costs €0, and a free tier is included, so there is a way in before any payment. Once you subscribe, monthly billing runs €3 to €5 and annual billing runs €35.99 to €59.99. Compare that entry point with Reading Eggs at £6.99 and SpanishPod101 at $4.
How much does the annual plan cost at renewal?+
The annual option runs €35.99 to €59.99, and the monthly option runs €3 to €5, both covering the same app access. The yearly figure is the number that matters once the first period ends, and it ranks the service second of 18 brands at 2. That keeps the renewal year cheap.
