Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

What the product covers
The full Busuu feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Structured course units
- Community correction
- Study plans and certification
- Offline lessons
- Grammar review units
- Live tutoring credits
People bring Busuu in for a self-directed adult learner who wants human correction on writing and speaking exercises rather than only algorithmic feedback, someone working toward a specific proficiency level and wanting a structured study plan rather than a gamified drip of lessons, a learner who wants offline access for commuting or travel, which requires the premium subscription, a buyer comparing busuu against duolingo who values depth of grammar explanation over gamification. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Busuu are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Busuu badges page.
Before you pay for Busuu
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at $13.99/month. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Busuu runs on ios, android, web, and is published by Chegg of Santa Clara, California, United States. The full record is on the Busuu review, and the rest of the category is under best education tools.
