Parlumi turns learning a language into the best part of your day. Bite-sized lessons that feel like a game, instant feedback and a clear path that takes you from your very first words to speaking with confidence. Five minutes a day is all it takes to feel the difference. Choose from nine languages, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan, German, Dutch and Swedish, and climb from A1 to C2 across 72 units: from saying hello and ordering a coffee to debating, adding nuance and getting the jokes locals make. Already know some? The placement test starts you at the right level, and an exam at the end of each level shows you just how far you’ve come. You learn from your own language, because Parlumi speaks fourteen: the nine course languages plus Polish, Finnish, Ukrainian, Turkish and Romanian. Every explanation is written for speakers of your language, shows you what’s different and warns you about false friends before they trip you up. Every lesson feels fresh. Build sentences with tiles, type with the keyboard of the language you’re learning, listen to natural voices at normal or slow speed, say sentences out loud and find out instantly if you’re understood, spot the mistake and finish each unit with a short story. Words that give you trouble come back in smart reviews, and if you get stuck, a hint or “I don’t know” shows you the answer without breaking your stride. And you never learn alone. In the city of Parlumi, each week you join a neighborhood of up to twenty people and together you build a project at The Harbor, The Lighthouse, The Beach or any of its eight places. You contribute by hitting your daily goal, so consistency counts, not level. When your neighborhood finishes the build, you earn gems, the city grows stage by stage and you rise through the titles, from Visitor all the way to Mayor of Parlumi. Friends make it even better: find them by @username or with your QR code, compete on the weekly leaderboard, challenge them to a 60-second lightning duel where speed beats level, and invite them to earn months of Premium. Your privacy comes first: until you’re friends, people only see your @username and photo. Streaks, XP, a daily goal, hearts and a gem shop with streak shields, Double XP and avatar frames keep you coming back day after day. And Parlumi doesn’t leave you stranded without signal: keep studying, see your friends and your city with the latest saved data, and everything you do is sent automatically as soon as you’re back online. Nothing you learn is ever lost. Start in seconds, no account needed. Whenever you like, create a free one with Apple or your email and take your progress to all your devices. Parlumi is free and will stay free. If you want more, Parlumi Premium gives you unlimited lives, a free streak freeze every month and free hints and intensive reviews. You also get free gems every month, and even more with the yearly plan. It's a monthly or yearly subscription (the yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial) that renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Parlumi at none against Fluly's 3. Parlumi also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Fluly's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
