    It used to be more well-presented. No fuzz, no spin, just straight down the middle.

    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.

    Rosetta Stone trains your speech, writing and vocabulary. And it isn't deliberately designed lie to you, wasting your valuable time. Duolingo may be free, but it's really lacking.

    I like Rosetta Stone. It is very good to use this program when you only start learning a language. Amazing is that you don't need to translate it to your native language. You learn it as a child his first language. And it is good for pronunciation. But it is very expensive.
