+ Gets you talking from the first lesson with open-ended AI conversations rather than tap-the-word drills.
− Limited language selection and no meaningful free tier beyond a trial.
+ Deliberately refuses to just give the answer, nudging students through the problem with questions.
− Can be slow and occasionally makes arithmetic mistakes while tutoring math.
+ Video Call puts you in an unscripted spoken conversation that adapts to your level inside the app you already use.
− Pricey relative to Super Duolingo, and the AI features are only available for a subset of courses.
+ Upload class notes and get flashcards, practice tests and outlines generated automatically.
− Many once-free study modes moved behind the Plus paywall.
