LangTown vs Duolingo

For casual adult learners who liked Duolingo until practice felt like homework.

What Duolingo does better

• Huge brand, courses, and social proof (leagues, streaks, millions of users).
• Polished drill loops and a freemium Super Duolingo path people already know.
• iOS and Android; LangTown is Android / Google Play today.

What LangTown does better

• A persistent pixel town you walk, not a lesson list you clear.
• Coach practice framed as low-stakes conversation: free to get it wrong, no streak guilt.
• Rubies, a home you build, and optional PvP when you want more juice than a streak counter.
• Transparent tiers on the site: Visitor free forever, Local $5/mo, Patron $15/mo.

Who each is for

Duolingo if you want the default drill app with maximum content and platform reach.

LangTown if you quit because streaks felt like guilt, and you want practice that feels like living in a cozy game world instead.
