How this list is ordered. Specifiction scores each tool on how fully its maker documents it, whether its prices are published, where the research puts it, the platforms it runs on and whether it can be tried for free (how we rank). Makers can also buy a numbered place (how Specifiction is paid for).

Paid-from pricing adds a cost point to consider. Duolingo, JapanesePod101, and Busuu are among the entries to compare. Start with the language you want to study, then weigh the listed tools for practicing and reviewing against the routine and access you need.
