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 clearest difference is rating: Mondly at 4.7 against uTalk's 4.4. Mondly also leads on ratings volume (33K vs 987) and chart position (#175 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mondly sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and uTalk sells 89 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mondly holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mondly has 33K ratings behind it against 987, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Mondly's written reviews are positive against 63% of uTalk's.
Mondly ships an update fortnightly, uTalk monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
