Speak

Speak is a language-learning app that centres on talking out loud. Instead of tapping through multiple-choice drills, you answer an AI conversation partner and receive real-time feedback on your pronunciation and phrasing. The company page describes a full lesson library, streaks, progress tracking and reminders inside the Premium plan, with a higher Premium Plus plan that adds lessons made for you.

The provider named in the terms is Speakeasy Labs, Inc., with a San Francisco address. Our sources give no counts for languages, lessons or conversation minutes, and they show no prices, so those details have to be confirmed inside the app during the 7-day trial before you commit to a subscription.

• AI conversation practice. Speak lets you hold spoken exchanges with an AI partner that responds to what you say. The company lists this as part of Premium, which makes it the core of the product rather than an optional extra for advanced learners.
• Real-time pronunciation and phrasing feedback. While you talk, the app comments on how you pronounce words and how you build sentences. The page presents this as included in Premium, though it does not explain how the scoring works or which languages receive it.
• Full lesson library. Premium includes the whole library of lessons rather than a sample. The pages read do not state how many lessons exist, how they are grouped or which levels they cover, so the size of the library is unverified.
• Streaks, progress tracking and reminders. Habit tools sit in Premium: streaks to reward daily practice, progress tracking to show how far you have come, and reminders to nudge you back. They are described briefly, without detail on how reminders can be configured.
• Made for You lessons and Speak Tutor. Premium Plus adds lessons made for you and a lesson creator called Speak Tutor. The FAQ also mentions unlimited personalised lessons, so this tier is aimed at learners who want content shaped around their own situation.
• Unlimited personalised review. Premium Plus includes unlimited personalised review, meaning revisiting material tailored to you without a stated ceiling. The page gives no numeric usage caps for either tier, so the word unlimited is the vendor's own description.

• A traveller preparing for a trip in a few weeks. Daily spoken practice with an AI partner gives repeated chances to say useful sentences aloud. Pronunciation feedback helps catch unclear words early, and the 7-day trial allows a short test before paying.
• An adult learner who freezes when speaking. Talking to software removes the pressure of a human listener. Streaks and reminders encourage a regular habit, while phrasing feedback shows how a sentence could sound more natural, all inside Premium.
• A learner with a very specific goal. Someone preparing for one workplace situation can look at Premium Plus, where lessons made for you and the Speak Tutor creator are listed. The pages do not say how detailed that personalisation is.

The company offers a 7-day free trial, and a paid subscription is required to continue afterwards. The pages we read describe the app and its two plans but do not give a step-by-step setup, a placement test or a typical time to first lesson.

Prices are not on the main page, because the FAQ says they vary by plan, region and promotions and refers you to the app or a regional site. Try a conversation and a pronunciation exercise on day one, and check the in-app price before the trial ends.

Speak is built around talking out loud, with an AI partner that replies and corrects pronunciation and phrasing as you go. Premium holds the lesson library and the practice; Premium Plus adds lessons made for you and unlimited review.

The website shows no amounts and names no usage caps, so cost and limits stay unknown until you open the app after the 7-day trial.

The language learning apps list places Speak 16 of 17: the products next to it are Mango Languages above and LingoDeer below. After the challenger places, Speak is one of the established names, ranked in order and without a score.

Home market: the United States, one of 6 North America bases among the 17 products here.

Speak is provided by Speakeasy Labs, Inc., whose terms give a San Francisco address and Delaware governing law.

Users living in France or Germany keep the mandatory consumer law of their country.

Charging model: Two paid tiers, Premium and Premium Plus; amounts vary by region and sit in the app; 7-day trial, then subscription.

Two paid plans are named: Speak Premium and Speak Premium Plus. The company page shows no amounts, currencies or billing periods. Its FAQ says pricing varies by plan, region and promotions, and it points to the app or a regional site for the figures. A 7-day free trial is offered, after which a paid subscription is needed; the page names no permanent free tier. No numeric usage caps are stated, because the text describes features rather than limits. Premium Plus adds the personalised lesson features.

Basis: speak.com, read for the Best Language Learning Apps in 2026 guide (reviewed 7 November 2026).

The terms name Speakeasy Labs, Inc. as the provider, referred to as Speak, with a San Francisco, CA 94105 address and Delaware governing law. No country is named explicitly, so United States is inferred from that address.

Users resident in France or Germany keep the mandatory consumer law of their country. The pages we read do not describe how spoken audio is stored, who can access it, retention periods, certifications or data export, so anyone concerned about voice recordings should read the privacy documentation first.

We found nothing citable on integrations for Speak, so none are claimed here.

These are the nearest neighbours of Speak in the same list, picked on shared traits and price model.

• italki (#8 of 17): Pay-as-you-go lessons from teachers who set their own prices. Watch out: the pages we read listed no fee structure, so the final price depends on each teacher. (Hong Kong)
• Rosetta Stone (#11 of 17): Suits: Learners who want immersion lessons plus optional tutoring.
• HelloTalk (#14 of 17): Not for: learners wanting graded lessons, exercises and a fixed study path. Mobile app for chatting with native speakers instead of taking lessons.
• LingoDeer (#17 of 17): Grammar-led language courses with one subscription across twenty languages. Watch out: the pricing page does not say which membership plans the 7-day money-back guarantee covers, so refund terms need checking before purchase.
