Our verdict
Lingokids is a subscription language app for families with young children, with a free tier and a 7 days trial that let parents judge the activities before the yearly charge of $161.88 lands. It suits households that want one app several children share, and less suitable for anyone after live lessons.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A free tier and a 7 days trial let a family test the app before any charge.
- The library covers 4,000 activities in languages, so children at different stages can use the same subscription.
- Offline download is included, matching the 77.4% of listed brands that also work without a connection.
- A dedicated kids version is built in, so parents do not need a second app for a child not ready for a general course platform.
- Assessments are included, and progress checks are close to standard here: 100% of apps in the language learning apps ranking include them.
Cons
- Support runs on the help centre alone, with no listed email, chat or phone line, so a disputed charge takes a documented route rather than a quick call.
- The delivery method is app, so there is no listed live lesson time for a child who needs speaking practice with a person.
- The annual charge for Lingokids Plus is $161.88 and the plan is a subscription, so a family that stops early is still committed to the yearly figure.
- Prices are quoted in US dollars from a company registered in the US, so households outside the US should confirm the local charge at sign-up.
Who it suits
- Households with young children who want one subscription shared across the family, since a kids version is built in.
- Parents who need the app to work on flights and patchy connections, since offline download is included.
- Families who want to see how a child is progressing, since assessments are part of the plan.
Who should look elsewhere
- Learners after live classes or exam preparation: the method is app, so a course platform such as Edusity is the closer fit.
- Anyone unwilling to commit to a yearly charge: Lingokids Plus is a subscription at $161.88 a year, so buying a single course on a platform such as Edusity suits light use better.
What you get free
Lingokids has a free tier, so a family can open the app and work through part of the material before a charge starts. The fuller library sits behind the Plus subscription, and the free trial lasts 7 days. A window that short serves as a real test rather than a browse, so pick a few ordinary evenings and judge whether the activities hold attention in your household. Because the trial closes quickly, it is worth deciding at the start what you would do if the answer is yes, rather than leaving it to the last evening. Parents who only want a look around can stay on the free tier and revisit the Plus subscription later.
Plans and prices
The monthly charge for Lingokids Plus is $13.49, and the entry price is $13.49. The annual option for Lingokids Plus is $161.88. That gap is the real decision point: monthly keeps the exit cheap but costs more across a year, while the yearly figure only makes sense for a household already settled into a daily routine. A family whose language plans are uncertain has a lower risk route in the shorter trial, while a settled routine favours paying for the year. Readers comparing monthly cost alone will see $13.49; readers weighing commitment will weigh $161.88 against a full year of use.
Core features
Lingokids is built for children rather than as a general course platform, and a kids version is included as part of the product. That shapes what the app is for: a parent choosing something for a young child, and a household sharing one account across siblings. The free tier and the 7 days trial cover the same core experience, so the deciding question is how long a family intends to keep going. A kids version is common in this category, so the differentiator sits in how long the child keeps using it rather than in the children mode alone. An adult learner looking for exam material or conversation practice will find the same product a poor match.
The company behind it
Lingokids is run by Monkimun Inc., registered in the US, so the legal notice is the place to confirm the entity behind the subscription. Support runs through the help centre, where articles cover the Plus subscription, the price and currency, and offline downloads. Most questions are therefore answered by reading, which suits a family that wants quick answers on price and downloads. Help arrives in a documented form rather than a live conversation, so a recurring charge that looks wrong takes a slower route to resolution. The US base is also worth bearing in mind if you subscribe from another market.
How Lingokids compares
Frequently asked questions
How much is Lingokids Plus, and what happens at renewal?+
The monthly charge for Lingokids Plus is $13.49 and the entry price is $13.49. The annual option is $161.88, so the yearly figure is the one that decides a longer commitment. Set a reminder before the 7 days trial ends if you are weighing the two.
Is there a free version of Lingokids, or only a trial?+
There is a free tier, so you can open the app and use part of the material free, and the free trial on the Plus subscription runs for 7 days. That trial is shorter than the 10-day trial median across listed brands, so treat it as a quick test rather than a long evaluation.
Is Lingokids suitable for young children?+
A dedicated kids version is part of the product, and the library runs to 4,000 activities in languages. That is the reason families on this kind of app tend to choose it, and a kids version appears on 66.7% of apps in the language learning apps ranking, so it is a common choice rather than a rare one.
Can Lingokids be used without an internet connection?+
Offline download is included, so activities can be saved on the device and played back later, which helps on flights and on slower home connections. Offline support is a common feature rather than a rarity: 77.4% of the brands listed here include it, so it is worth weighing against your own connection needs.
Does Lingokids include live lessons with a tutor?+
No, the delivery method is app. Learning happens inside the app, so there is no scheduled class time and no tutor to book. If speaking practice with a person matters, compare a course platform that runs live sessions, and expect a different shape of commitment from a self-paced app.
Who runs Lingokids, and where is it based?+
The service is run by Monkimun Inc., registered in the US. The legal notice is the place to check the entity behind the subscription, and the same US base shapes the price and currency information you will see. For a parent comparing annual costs, that legal name is the one to search if a charge needs explaining.
How do I get help from Lingokids?+
Support runs through the help centre, which holds articles on the Plus subscription, the price and currency, and offline downloads. That suits quick questions about billing or downloads, since the answer is written down. A live conversation is not part of the listed support, so a complex billing dispute takes the documented route.
How does Lingokids compare with apps that have no free tier?+
The free tier is the main difference. Reading Eggs, Edusity and Mrs Wordsmith all have no free tier, so Lingokids is the one to try before paying. Free access is common in this ranking, at 76.2% of language apps, so the deciding factor becomes the yearly price of $161.88 rather than whether a free version exists.
Does Lingokids track how a child is progressing?+
Assessments are part of the plan, so a parent can see how a child is getting on rather than guessing. Progress checks are close to standard on this kind of app: 98.9% of listed brands include them. The useful question is how the result reaches a parent, since the plan is worked through at your own pace.
