Elixir is an AI speaking practice app for people who already study a language but still can't speak it. If you know the words and the rules but freeze when it's time to talk, Elixir helps you go from "I know it" to "I say it" REAL CONVERSATION WITHOUT FLASHCARDS You hold a live voice conversation with an AI partner on real topics. The language works in your mouth, not just on a screen FEEDBACK WHILE YOU TALK Elixir gently corrects your mistakes during the conversation, the way a real tutor would, and shows you how to say it more naturally. Your weak spots come back in later dialogues until they stick BUILT AROUND YOU Practice adapts to your level, your goals and the topics you care about — from first phrases to confident, native-like speech. You never pick a topic or plan a lesson. Elixir decides what to practice next PRACTICE FOR REAL LIFE Get ready for the moments that matter: introductions, small talk, cafés, travel, renting, the doctor, paperwork, work, interviews, calls and life in a new country 12 LANGUAGES Practice speaking English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Turkish, Serbian, Swedish and Hungarian HOW IT'S DIFFERENT Unlike flashcards and grammar drills, Elixir gives you real conversation practice — it leads the dialogue, adjusts difficulty and gives feedback.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Elixir at freemium against English Bites's subscription. Elixir also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). English Bites's advantage is ratings volume (170 vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Elixir sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month and English Bites sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Elixir holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: English Bites has 170 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Elixir ships an update every 2 weeks, English Bites weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
