Speak to Anyone vs Busuu

Busuu is a CEFR-based course app with certificates, a community and AI conversations on its top plan. Speak to Anyone teaches the language of a trip and plans the trip in the same app. Here is how they compare on what we could check.

Checked against Busuu's own pages on 24 October 2026. Features and prices change, so compare the current ones on Busuu's site (opens in a new tab) and in the app.

Where Busuu is strong

  • CEFR-aligned levels, with certificates you earn each time you pass a level.
  • Travel courses by language, and a community feature.
  • AI Conversations and speaking practice with pronunciation feedback on its Premium Plus plan.

Where Speak to Anyone fits better

  • Hindi, Romanian, Tagalog, Cebuano and Hiligaynon, which are not on Busuu's own list of 14 languages.
  • Trip planning, a travel map and saved videos in the same app as the lessons.
  • Free to start with no daily limit, and no generative AI.
