ELSA Speak vs Speakometer

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.

Speakometer is an English pronunciation and accent-training app for Android and iOS, with feedback for British and American pronunciation. Its color-coded IPA feedback identifies sounds pronounced accurately and those that need more practice. Learners can search more than 65,000 words and practice with more than 8,000 minimal pairs and sound contrasts, along with thematic sets, word endings, challenging words, and individual sounds. Recommendations draw on a learner’s native language, results, and practice history. Users can record their voice and compare playback with a selected pronunciation model. Core pronunciation practice can work offline, though downloading the app and some services or updates require internet access. No account is required to start. Word translations and localization support cover more than 40 languages. The app is free to download for core practice; an optional Premium subscription has no listed price, which varies by country, local currency, and platform. The privacy policy says third-party analytics and advertising providers may collect usage or diagnostic data.
