What the top Spanish courses actually cost

• Billing cycle. A monthly plan may look cheap but cost more per year than an annual plan.
• One-off vs subscription. Courses like StoryLearning or Gritty Spanish are a single payment for lifetime access; apps often charge a recurring subscription.
• What's included. Check whether premium features, quizzes or extra levels are locked behind a higher tier.
• Trial fine print. A trial that auto-renews will charge you unless you cancel before it ends.
• Refund policy. Confirm how long you have to ask for a refund and whether it's pro-rated.
