Both can coexist. Use Duolingo for vocabulary on the commute. Use Sprechify for speaking that the examiner will actually score. The band score is what gets you the visa.

/04/   QUESTIONS

About the comparison.

Independent studies and our own testing say no. Duolingo does not train you on the examiner rubric, and there is no real speaking module.
Many do. Duolingo for grammar and vocab drills, Sprechify for exam-day speaking practice.
Pro is $24.99/month, or about $16.58/month on the annual plan, and purchasing-power pricing applies at checkout in supported countries. Every plan is also backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee.
