Our verdict on each
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.
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
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.
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
Mondly
Who it suits
- Beginners who want to practise speaking early, since AI conversation and speech recognition are both included.
- Learners ready to commit for a year, since the yearly plan at €47.95 is the figure that works in your favour.
- Families with adults and children learning together, since a kids version is part of the same subscription.
Who should look elsewhere
- Learners who want to start at no cost, since Bunpro lists $0.
- Readers shopping for a different paid entry point, since Reading Eggs lists £6.99 to set beside Mondly's €9.99.
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
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.
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.
