Sololearn review: price, free version and privacy

Our verdict

Pick Sololearn to sample several programming languages in short daily sessions, with help when you get stuck. If you already know which language you need or want deep projects, a dedicated course will go further.

What Sololearn is

Sololearn teaches programming through short lessons, coding exercises, games and challenges in 20+ languages, including Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, SQL, Java and C#. The listing describes four career tracks, a mobile code editor, AI-generated practice and an AI teacher called Kodie, plus a community where learners help each other. It holds an Apple Editors' Choice badge.

Who it suits

• Beginners trying several programming languages
• Short coding practice on the phone
• Learners who want community help

Strengths

• 20+ courses, from Python and JavaScript to SQL, Java and C#
• A mobile code editor and practice from the first lesson, according to the description
• AI help from Kodie plus a learner community for questions
• Apple Editors' Choice, rated 4.8 from about 82,200 ratings

Limits

• Full features need PRO; the description says you start free but must enable a PRO trial to unlock everything
• Usage data is declared for tracking, and contacts are among the data linked to you
• Breadth over depth: each language gets less material than in a dedicated course
• The description mentions a Max subscription with 15 AI courses, but no Max item appears in the price list

What the free version does

The description says you can start learning to code for free, but unlocking all features requires a PRO trial that turns into a paid plan unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. The listing does not say which lessons stay free, and a screenshot shows a lock on some content.

Price

On the US App Store in November 2026, Sololearn PRO monthly items are listed at $6.99 and $12.99, and annual items at $47.99, $59.99, $69.99 and $79.99, including a $47.99 annual item with a 14-day trial. The description says PRO can also renew weekly, but no weekly item appears in the list.
