ELSA Speak vs Gliglish

ELSA Speak is a mobile app for speech practice on Android and iOS, with a placement test and personalized review. Its Free plan includes the first two lessons of topics. ELSA Premium adds personalized learning paths, interactive learning games, accent selection, a bilingual AI tutor and real-time feedback. The Premium plan costs $159.99 per year, billed annually, and a 7-day trial is listed. Offline lessons are not available, and the facts list one language offered. Support channels include email and documentation. The listed company-size fit spans solo users, small businesses, mid-market and enterprise. The maker is ELSA Speak; the facts list its founding year as 2016 and its headquarters as San Francisco, California. For a learner choosing between tiers, the free plan's stated scope is limited to the first two lessons of topics, while Premium adds learning paths, games and feedback. The app is mobile-only according to its listed platforms, so offline lesson access is not part of the offering.

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.
