Busuu plans & pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Billing | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free STALE · 2026-09-02 | $0 | — | Flat monthly | Free tier with limited lessons across 14 languages. Community access included. No offline mode or certificates. | busuu.com |
| Premium (Monthly) STALE · 2026-06-14 | not priced monthly | — | Flat monthly | Month-to-month Premium plan. Original $13.95/mo figure (FluentU) could NOT be confirmed; 2026 sources indicate monthly is closer to ~$10.50 but no single credible source agrees precisely, so no monthly price is recorded, per verification policy. Includes no ads, offline mode, vocabulary/grammar reviews, streak repair, certificates, complete courses across 14 languages. | fluentu.com |
| Premium (Annual) STALE · 2026-06-14 | not priced monthly | — | Flat monthly | Annual Premium plan. Original $83.40/year ($6.95/month effective) figure (FluentU) could NOT be confirmed; 2026 sources (talkreal.org) cite annual at ~$62.99/year (~$5.25/mo), materially lower. Because credible sources disagree with the recorded figure and cannot confirm it, no monthly price is recorded, per verification policy. Same feature set as Premium monthly. | fluentu.com |
| Premium Plus (Annual) STALE · 2026-06-14 | not priced monthly | — | Flat monthly | Former Premium Plus tier. Original $139.99/year ($11.67/month effective) figure from an App Store listing could NOT be confirmed and appears stale: multiple 2026 reviews report Busuu has merged Premium Plus into a single Premium plan, so a standing separate Premium Plus annual price is no longer verifiable. No monthly price is recorded, per verification policy. Historically added AI Conversations, pronunciation coaching, grammar Mistake Repair, and specialty topic courses on top of Premium. | apps.apple.com |
Last verified 2026-09-02. STALE marks a plan we have not re-checked at its source in over 30 days. Every plan above is marked — we flag rather than silently retain. ADVERSARIAL VERIFICATION (2026-06-14): Original figures (Premium $13.95/mo and $83.40/yr from FluentU; Premium Plus $139.99/yr from App Store) could NOT be confirmed against current 2026 sources. Multiple independent 2026 reviews (testprepinsight.com Busuu review, talkreal.org Busuu costs) indicate Busuu has consolidated the former Premium/Premium Plus split into a single Premium plan, with annual at ~$62.99/yr (~$5.25/mo) and monthly at ~$10.50 — materially different from and contradicting the stale FluentU/App Store numbers originally recorded. Because no credible source confirms the original figures and the live structure appears to have changed, no monthly price is recorded for any paid Busuu plan, per verification policy, rather than asserting an unverifiable price. Free tier (0) retained. Cross-checked against fluentu.com.

This standing as a plaque
Busuu currently holds a gold deskmark here — Rank 2 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, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Busuu 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.
