    It caps your learning at 3000 words while Duolingo is completely free, with no cap on vocabulary or any basic functionality. The only cost comes from buying additional services like Tinycards, etc.

    Mondly is good for learning sentences, before going somewhere on vacation. Due to lack of grammar teaching and explanattions it's more like a fun game. Not for serious language learning. And the system is for every language the same. The same lessons, the same sentences. Not recommendable as only source to learn a new language.
