Read full description

Chatter is the conversation practice that Duolingo doesn't have. You know the vocabulary. You've done the flashcards. But the moment a real person talks back, everything goes blank. Chatter fixes that — an AI conversation partner that role-plays as a café waiter, hotel receptionist, business colleague, or just a friend, and talks back in your target language while quietly correcting every mistake you make. Speak in Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Korean, or 6 more languages. Chatter transcribes your voice, stays in character, and replies naturally — then shows you exactly what you said wrong, why, and the correct version. Every correction saves a vocab card to your personal deck for review later. What you get free: • AI role-play conversations in 12+ real-world scenarios (café, airport, business meeting, first date) — up to 3 conversations per day • Real-time corrections with grammar explanations — in the same chat bubble • Personal vocab deck built automatically from your mistakes • 2 languages to start • Streak tracking and daily goals • Works on-device — your conversations never leave your phone Chatter Pro (auto-renewing subscription) unlocks: • Unlimited daily role-play conversations (requires subscription) • Custom role-play scenarios you design yourself (requires subscription) • Full hands-free voice mode — speak and listen (requires subscription) • Spaced-repetition flashcard review (requires subscription) • Fluency progress dashboard — watch your error rate drop (requires subscription) • All 10+ languages (requires subscription) Language learners who use Chatter speak more in one week than a year of vocabulary drills. Start free. No tutor. No schedule. Just talk. Available for iPhone with iOS 26 or later.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Chatter at none against Yappi's shown. Yappi's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
