Atlas Runa vs Gliglish

Atlas Runa is a language-learning app that brings reading, vocabulary review, listening, writing, and speaking practice into a study hub shaped by each learner’s progress. It supports Italian, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and German, with learning aimed at levels A1 through C2. Recommendations draw on a learner’s level, saved words, lookups, review history, missed forms, writing attempts, and goals. Its reading library offers level-matched material, tappable definitions, flashcard saving, quizzes, and EPUB imports. Writing exercises provide AI corrections and grammar explanations, then prompt learners to rewrite their work. A browser extension connects reading and video activity with the learner’s progress; for YouTube, it can prepare vocabulary cards, estimate difficulty, and offer a post-watch AI chat. The free plan includes listening to 10 articles per day; Premium adds unlimited listening with comprehension and additional AI-supported practice. Atlas Runa runs as a web service and browser extension, with no mobile apps. A free plan is available, and the pricing note lists paid access from $13.99/mo and a 5-day trial.

Gliglish is a language-learning app centered on speaking with an AI language teacher. It supports more than 30 languages and runs on the web, Android, and iOS. Practice includes AI conversations and real-life roleplays, with suggestions for what to say next, adjustable speaking speed, grammar feedback, and translations on request. Pronunciation feedback is listed for American English. The free plan gives 10 minutes of speaking per day, limits conversations to 50 messages, and may have limited availability at peak hours. Plus plans remove the speaking and conversation-length limits and include 50 conversation topics, mini-classes, beginner-friendly mode, multilingual speech recognition, and priority access at peak hours. Plus costs $16 a year for the annual plan and $29 a month for the monthly plan. Gliglish also offers subscriptions for education and business organizations. Its privacy policy says the service collects voice recordings, transcripts, AI responses, translations, and conversations, and may review recordings and conversations to improve the service. User data is stored on servers in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
