LEARN LANGUAGES FAST: uTalk gets results because every word you hear is in your new language and you speak, listen and understand from the start. With free starter words in 150+ languages, you can try it risk-free. Score 100% in the games and you can unlock an extra topic for free. WHY UTALK WORKS: 1. LEARN FROM THE LOCALS: We record native speakers so you hear every word pronounced clearly. Mimic their pronunciation and compare your intonation with theirs. Practise until you get it right – you can even slow the audio down if it’s too fast. 2. USEFUL EVERYDAY WORDS AND PHRASES. Topics take around two to three hours to complete. But you can dip in for just five minutes at a time or longer. With 60+ topics, that’s a total of 180 hours of learning. 3. KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED: Check your scores on progress bars as you move through five progressively difficult games. To get full marks, you’ll have to know the words as well as your own language. WHO’S IT FOR? uTalk’s tried and trusted way to learn a new language has been developed over 30 years and is perfect for beginners. But its wide-ranging language is also invaluable for intermediates looking to improve their vocabulary and pronunciation.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sproo at 5.0 against uTalk's 4.4. Sproo also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). uTalk's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (987 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. uTalk sells 89 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Sproo sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sproo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: uTalk has 987 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of uTalk's written reviews are positive against 50% of Sproo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

uTalk ships an update monthly, Sproo every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
