Planning to buy ELSA Speak and wondering whether a Black Friday deal is coming? ELSA, the English pronunciation app, has run a Black Friday sale in each of the last two years, and the offer changed a lot from one year to the next.
This guide covers what ELSA has announced for 2026, its past Black Friday deals, how to get one and whether it beats the price you can get the rest of the year.
Is there an ELSA Speak Black Friday sale in 2026?
Not in the US yet. On November 11, 2026, we found no 2026 Black Friday offer on ELSA’s English website or blog. Its local sites are already busy, though: ELSA’s Taiwan site posted a November sale on October 27, 2026 that it calls the lowest price yet for Lifetime Premium. In 2025, ELSA promoted its offer on its English blog on November 27, the day before Black Friday, so expect news in the last week of November.
What were ELSA Speak’s past Black Friday deals?
ELSA ran a different offer each year, first on the yearly plan and then on Lifetime.
| Year | Deal | Where |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | Not announced yet (checked November 11) | None |
| 2025 | 80% off Lifetime Premium | ELSA’s blog, November 27, 2025 |
| 2024 | 50% off 1-year Premium: $79.99 instead of $159.99 | ELSA’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024 offer page |
The 2025 post didn’t give a dollar price, and the Lifetime offer page it linked to no longer loads, so we can’t tell you what Lifetime cost after the discount. ELSA’s local sites ran their own versions. In Taiwan, for example, the extra Black Friday spots opened from November 28 to 30, 2025, with 1-year Premium cut from NT$5,250 to NT$2,192.
How do you get the ELSA Speak Black Friday deal?
Buy through ELSA’s offer page on the web when the sale goes live, and check the plan and total before you pay. Both past offers lived on separate web pages, and the 2025 one was linked from a post on ELSA’s English blog, so check the blog around Black Friday. ELSA’s Taiwan site said its 2025 offer was open to new learners, learners whose plan had expired and current learners renewing or upgrading, so a returning learner can use one too.
Is the ELSA Speak Black Friday deal worth it?
The 2024 deal was good value: $79.99 for a year of Premium is under $7 a month. It is a smaller saving than the 50% suggests, though. In October and early November 2026, price trackers such as Toolradar saw ELSA’s US pricing page list Premium at $99.99 a year, so a repeat of the 2024 price would save you $20 on that. The price isn’t only for Black Friday either: ELSA’s Olympic Games 2024 offer and its holiday special page show the same $79.99 for a year of Premium.
Lifetime makes sense only if you plan to work on English pronunciation for several years. ELSA teaches English only, so it suits learners whose first language is not English. If you are a native English speaker learning another language, its deals won’t help you.
