Chatter

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 clearest difference is in-app purchases: BooLingo at none against Chatter's 3. BooLingo also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). Chatter's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
