Speakly is a language app with short structured lessons, spaced repetition, an AI tutor called Luna and speaking exercises. Its official site, checked on November 4, 2026, lists a free plan, a Pro plan at $2.99 per month and an AI Pro plan at $9.99 per month, and says the app is in open beta.
What is Speakly?
Speakly is a web and mobile app for learning a language through daily lessons. Its homepage describes lessons that build on each other with vocabulary, quizzes and exercises; spaced repetition that brings back the words you struggle with; streaks and XP; and speaking practice that records your voice and gives pronunciation feedback. It works on phone, tablet and laptop. The homepage also claims 500+ words and 90+ structured lessons. Those are the app's own numbers, and we did not count them.
Which languages does Speakly teach?
The official site lists these as live: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hindi, Russian, Italian, Norwegian and Japanese. Swedish is marked as coming soon. A stat box on the same page says 7 languages are available, which does not match the nine live entries. The headline on the site centers Spanish, French and English. If a specific language matters to you, check the current list in the app before you pay, because the app is still in beta.
How does a Speakly lesson work?
According to the site, the routine has three steps. You pick a language and set a daily goal. You complete daily lessons with vocabulary, quizzes and speaking exercises. Then you build a streak by coming back every day. The AI tutor, Luna, handles conversation practice and corrections, and the page lists unlimited access to it on the AI Pro plan. The speaking tools record you and score pronunciation.
The page does not describe how the review scheduling works or how many exercises a lesson contains. The only way to judge the lessons is to use the free plan for a week and see whether the vocabulary sticks.
How much does Speakly cost?
| Plan | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 forever | 1 lesson per day, 10 vocabulary reviews per day, streak tracking, progress dashboard |
| Pro | $2.99 per month | Unlimited lessons and vocabulary, 3 streak freezes per month, audio pronunciation |
| AI Pro | $9.99 per month | Unlimited AI tutor (Luna), speaking and pronunciation practice, priority support |
The page lists no yearly or lifetime plan, so the monthly price is the one to compare. Its comparison table puts Duolingo Plus at $6.99 per month and Rosetta Stone at $11.99 per month. Those are Speakly's own figures. We did not check the competitors' sites, so treat them as the company's claims.
Who should use Speakly?
Speakly makes most sense for three kinds of learner. The first is a beginner who wants a daily habit without a large monthly bill, and the free plan may be enough to test that. The second is a learner who wants speaking practice with feedback, which the AI Pro plan puts at the center. The third is someone who wants a step up from a free app without a yearly commitment, since the site lists only monthly paid prices.
If you need a human teacher, Speakly is not the right tool. The site does not mention human teachers, and its paid features revolve around the AI tutor. Pair it with a tutor if you need correction from a person. The content immersion vs. tutoring article explains the trade-off.

Start Free →What are Speakly's limits?
- The free plan caps you at one lesson a day, which is slow if you have time to study more.
- The app is in open beta, so features, limits and prices can change without much notice.
- The site does not describe human teachers, so correction comes from the AI tutor and automatic feedback.
- Its homepage claims, such as the number of lessons and words, have not been counted independently in any source we checked.
Is it the same as other apps called Speakly?
Several products use similar names. The site at speaklyapp.co is the one this review covers. Search results also showed an App Store listing called Speakly: Learn Languages Fast, with prices that differ from these, and a dictation app called Speakly AI that is not a language course. We could not confirm that the listing belongs to the same company, so check the developer name before you install.
How would you test Speakly in a week?
Pick a fixed time, ideally the same 15 minutes every day, and use only the free plan for seven days. At the end of each day, write down three things: the lessons you finished, the words you could recall the next morning, and whether you wanted to come back. If the same words are still in your head at the end of the week, the method is working for you. If you finish with a streak and nothing you can say, the app is engaging but not teaching you enough, so try another option.
How far does the free plan go?
The homepage claims more than 90 structured lessons. If that number covers the course you want, a free plan with one lesson a day would take about 13 weeks to finish all of them, because 90 lessons divided by seven lessons a week is roughly 13 weeks. The homepage does not say whether those lessons are the same for every language, so treat this as a rough guide. Pro removes the one-lesson limit, which only matters if you want more than one lesson on a given day.
What are common mistakes with Speakly?
- Treating the homepage stat boxes as measurements. The 500+ words and 90+ lessons are claims on the site.
- Paying for AI Pro before you have used the free lessons. The AI tutor matters most once you can already say something.
- Assuming beta prices will stay the same. Check the pricing page again before you commit to a subscription for a year.
- Trusting the homepage language list alone. Check the live list inside the app, because the site's own numbers disagree.
Where does Metheus fit?
Metheus is our tool, so weigh this with that in mind. Speakly drills structured lessons and speaking. Metheus works on the shows and videos you already watch: on YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Viki, its extension adds interactive subtitles, a one-click dictionary and spaced repetition. The free plan includes those features. The two cover different parts of practice, so using both is reasonable.

2026 Immersion Report
Language learning in 2026 isn't about finishing daily streaks. The fastest path to fluency combines three elements: comprehensible input from real media you enjoy, active vocabulary capture while consuming that content, and spaced repetition to lock words into long-term memory. Gamified apps build the habit. Immersion tools build the fluency. The most effective learners use both—in that order.
