Our verdict
Airlearn suits learners who want grammar and cultural context before drills, with 65+ courses and a low monthly price. The trade-offs: usage figures are mostly self-reported, the store price list is confusing, and free-tier limits are unpublished.
Best for: Self-learners who want structured lessons that explain grammar before practice
Skip it if: Anyone who needs published free-tier limits and refund terms before signing up

Experience & key features
Airlearn is a language-learning app for iOS and Android, launched in 2024 according to a company release published on VentureBeat. The App Store lists Unacademy Inc as seller; Google Play lists Airlearn Tech. Founder Gaurav Munjal co-founded Unacademy. In June 2025 Outlook Business and Inc42 reported that Airlearn would be spun off and that Munjal was stepping down as Unacademy CEO to run it.
Per the store descriptions, each lesson covers grammar, vocabulary and cultural context before quizzes and dialogues, with spaced repetition, daily goals, streaks and weekly XP leagues. Explanations appear in the learner's own language. The company also describes an AI tutor for speaking practice with instant feedback, but that description comes from its own release.
The app is free to download with in-app purchases. The US App Store lists 4.99 USD monthly, 24.99 USD for six months and annual options from 39.99 to 79.99 USD, some with a 7- or 14-day trial, plus a family plan at 49.99 USD with no billing period stated. airlearn.com has no pricing page.
Usage figures are mostly self-reported: 2 million+ users in 150+ countries in a September 2025 release, and 10 million+ learners in the current Google Play description. Google Play shows 5M+ downloads. A HackerNoon piece also appears company-supplied. Airlearn differs from Duolingo or Babbel by teaching rules before drills, but no independent study of learning outcomes was found.

Why this score
Per the store descriptions: short lessons, daily goals, streaks and weekly XP leagues. Interface in 28 languages; courses for speakers of 16+ languages.
Why this score
65+ courses per the stores, spaced repetition, practical dialogues and a company-described AI tutor. No independent documentation confirms the AI tutor adapts to the learner.
Why this score
Monthly 4.99 USD is low, but the store lists several annual prices (39.99–79.99 USD) without explanation, and 79.99 USD exceeds 12 monthly payments (59.88 USD). Free-tier limits are unpublished.
Why this score
No independent stability data. Ratings of 4.6/5 on Google Play (107K) and 4.8/5 on the US App Store are a good signal, though some reviews report interface bugs.
Why this score
Support via [email protected], and the developer replies to Google Play reviews. No help centre or own refund policy was found.
Why this score
The policy rules out selling data and allows in-app deletion, but shares data with advertising partners, and Google Play says location and personal info may go to third parties. Silent on voice and AI data.
