Is the Busuu Worth It?

Best for feedback from native speakers. Busuu is the closest thing to a course with a teacher at app prices: structured to CEFR and corrected by people. It finished a few points behind Babbel and costs less; the community feedback is the reason to choose it.

Busuu Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Courses follow CEFR levels A1–B2 with certificates
  • Native speakers correct your exercises, usually within hours
  • Study plan sets a target date and schedules review
  • Cheapest paid annual plan here
Cons
  • 14 languages
  • Community correction quality varies
  • Chegg ownership has brought more upsells
