Our verdict on each
Learn Laugh Speak
Learn Laugh Speak suits adults and families who want English speaking practice with live-group classes and a course reaching C2. Buyers focused on the lowest starting figure get less here, since there is no free tier. A year plan suits longer commitments.
Mondly
Mondly suits beginners who want an app with speech practice, a kids version and a free plan to start on, and who are willing to pay for a yearly commitment. The yearly plan at €47.95 is the figure that makes it affordable, while the 14 days money-back period softens the risk.

Pros and cons
Learn Laugh Speak
Pros
- Speech recognition and AI conversation are both included, so pronunciation work and spoken practice are built in.
- The top CEFR level is C2, so the course stretches past the intermediate stages many apps stop at.
- The method covers app and live group, pairing app practice with live-group classes rather than leaving speaking to an app alone.
Cons
- No free tier, so the entry price of $17.99 is the cheapest way in, while phase-6 and Bunpro list €0 and $0.
- A single language only, listed as English, where multi-language apps give you more to switch between.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, so there is no listed phone line for questions about billing or lessons.
Mondly
Pros
- A free tier is included, so the app can be used before any payment goes out.
- AI conversation and speech recognition are both part of the offer, which suits learners who want to practise speaking rather than only reading.
- A kids version sits in the same subscription, so a single payment covers adults and younger learners.
Cons
- The entry price of €9.99 sits above Bunpro, which lists $0.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, so a phone line is not among the options for anyone who prefers to talk.
- The monthly price of €9.99 ranks 12 of 25, so a month to month habit is the costly way to use the app.

Questions about each
Learn Laugh Speak
What does Learn Laugh Speak cost?+
Pricing is quoted at three points. The introductory entry figure is $17.99, the month rate is $24.99, and the year rate is $215.88. There is no free tier, so the entry figure is what you pay to start.
Does it include AI conversation and speech recognition?+
Yes, AI conversation is part of the offering, and speech recognition is there too, so the app can listen to pronunciation and hold a spoken exchange. Both are listed in the brand's support documentation.
Mondly
How much does Mondly cost?+
Mondly's entry price is €9.99, the monthly plan runs at €9.99 and the yearly plan at €47.95. Each figure is a separate commitment rather than a single rate, and the yearly figure is what decides whether the app feels cheap. The entry price is quoted in euro, so buyers elsewhere should expect a different local amount. Checking which plan each price sits on before paying is worth the minute.
Is there a free version of Mondly?+
Yes, there is a free tier, so the app can be opened and used before any payment goes out. The paid side comes with a free trial of 7 days, so you can check the subscription features without a long commitment. Between them you get a short test of the paid side. If the free tier covers what you need, nothing has to be paid at all.
