Do I need a paid app to practise English speaking?

Short answer

No. The four apps compared here are all free to download, and free learning material is also published by the British Council and the BBC. Paid plans usually add volume, structure or feedback rather than a different language.

Paid plans usually add volume, structure or feedback rather than a different language. Test the free tier on three sessions first, then pay only for the specific thing you found yourself missing, such as a way to hear your own recordings or a sequence of lessons to follow.

Paying makes sense once you can name the gap in your own words, for example a place to keep recordings or a sequence you can follow for a month. Paying before that usually buys features you will not open twice.
