  • Free: typing practice, lessons, pronunciation tutor (limited to 3 sessions/day), leaderboard, and other basic features (includes advertising)

  • Premium: no advertising + unlimited pronunciation tutor + Premium-exclusive features
  • Roleplay Pass: access to the real-time conversation (roleplay) mode

The specific content and composition of the Service may change according to Company policy.

Article 7 (Paid Services and Fees)

Premium, Ad-Free, and Roleplay Pass are Paid Services billed on a monthly recurring (subscription) basis.

  • Premium: US$10.99/month (KRW 14,900) — no advertising + unlimited pronunciation tutor + full feature access
  • Ad-Free: US$3.99/month (KRW 4,900) — no advertising
  • Roleplay Pass: US$21.99/month (KRW 29,000) — 150 minutes of real-time conversation (roleplay) per month (up to 30 minutes per session; unused minutes do not roll over)

Fees are inclusive of applicable tax (VAT), and the fee and benefits for each plan are displayed on the in-service payment screen. Payments are processed via Toss Payments or Paddle. For international payments, the Merchant of Record is Paddle, and charges appear as 'PADDLE.COM' on your card statement. Fee changes will be announced to existing subscribers in advance and will take effect from the next billing cycle.

The benefits of a Paid Service (Premium/Ad-Free/Roleplay Pass) apply only to the language (learning) version in use at the time of subscription and are not automatically extended to other language versions. To access paid benefits in another language version, a separate subscription must be purchased for that version.

Article 8 (Automatic Renewal and Cancellation of Recurring Billing)

A subscription automatically renews under the same terms at the end of each billing cycle (month) unless the user cancels, and the fee will be charged to the registered payment method on the renewal date.

Users may cancel their subscription at any time through in-service settings (or through subscription management in the App Store or Google Play). Upon cancellation, renewal stops from the next billing cycle, and the user may continue to use the Paid Service for the remaining days of the period already paid for.

Article 9 (Withdrawal of Subscription and Refunds)

Users may request withdrawal of subscription (a refund) within 7 days of the payment date for a Paid Service. However, under Korea's Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, withdrawal may be restricted once the supply of digital content has begun.

For Paid Services subject to withdrawal restrictions, the Company provides free usage (the free tier and free pronunciation tutor sessions) so users can try the Service before purchasing, ensuring that users' right to withdraw is not impeded.

The specific conditions and procedures for refunds are governed by the "Refund and Withdrawal Policy."

Article 10 (User Obligations)

Users must comply with applicable law, these Terms, and the usage guidelines, and must not engage in the following:
