Last verified 2026-09-05. Official babbel.com/en/prices and pricing pages returned 404 or empty content. Prices sourced from fluentin3months.com Babbel review page (updated April 18 2025), which cites web subscription prices. Corroborated against Apple App Store listing (apps.apple.com, accessed June 2026). Note: App Store shows a 1-month option at $17.99 for single-language iOS in-app purchase, which differs from the website's cheapest plan of 3 months; website prices are lower than App Store due to Apple's commission. Website prices from fluentin3months.com are used as monthlyUsd (the recurring effective monthly rate). Re-verified 2026-09-02 against the live pricing page; published figures unchanged. Cross-checked against apps.apple.com.

Babbel currently holds a silver deskmark here — Rank 4 of 7 · Language Learning. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm and money never touches it.
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Babbel moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
