Speech Blubs vs Stamurai

Speech Blubs is a speech-learning app for children ages 1–8. It uses video modeling: children watch other children say words and imitate them. More than 1,500 activities cover speech practice, speech sounds, language skills, face filters, stickers, and different developmental stages. The maker describes the app for children with speech delay, Down syndrome, apraxia, or autism, and says it supplements professional speech therapy rather than replacing it. One subscription covers a family, with multiple child profiles in one account. The maker says there are no ads or links leading children out of the app, and that content is age-appropriate for ages 1–8. Some activities work offline after download, though internet access is recommended for the best experience and all features. It runs on iOS and Android, not Kindle or Amazon Fire tablets. Plans include $14.99 a month, $59.99 a year with a 7-day trial, and $29.98 a year for the listed one-time offer.

Stamurai is a mobile app for learning and practicing speech-therapy exercises focused on stuttering and fluency. Its guided plan personalizes training as users continue and includes 15 minutes of daily practice. Tools listed by the maker include breathing exercises, meditation, and delayed auditory feedback. The therapy description combines stuttering modification, fluency shaping, and cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. Users can review scientific assessments, daily statistics, and points earned through practice. Group video sessions on Google Meet provide practice with other people who stutter; sessions are English-only and prohibit mocking and discussion of sex, religion, or politics. The app supports Android, iOS, and iPadOS. Premium plans include Pro access, personalized plans, more than 30 tools, and group sessions with certified speech therapists. Prices are $29.99 a month, 84.99 USD per 6 months, or $99.99 a year. A 7-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
