Their explanations set them apart from competitors. No other app explains cultural differences, grammar, and "Dutch things". For example: Babbel uses actual sounds that match the NS/train station. And their visual aids match what they're referring to (unlike competitors who use random, irrelevant pictures). The pricing and quality is simply superior.

There's a lot of hype around this language app but honestly it's really not that great, even with only the free features, Duolingo is still way better. I found that there is not that much content to practice with & the speaking exercises do not work at all, it marks everything wrong including the really simple words and I've practiced on other language apps without having any issues.

I like many aspects of this app but the speaking component is terrible. At first I thought I was a bad speaker because everything was marked incorrect, but then I got my partner to try (native speaker) and she was also marked incorrect for nearly everything. I'm talking simple words like "pom". That's not good enough for a paid language learning app. Also there are far too many repetitive elements of lessons, like spelling the exact same phrase ad nauseam until it just feels like a chore.
