Thinking about subscribing to Speak and wondering whether a Black Friday deal is coming? Speak sells yearly plans, so a discount would cut a whole year’s price, but its Black Friday sales have been small and hard to find.

This guide covers what Speak shows today, what its last Black Friday offer looked like, how to get a lower price and whether waiting is worth it.

Is there a Speak Black Friday sale in 2026?

Not so far. On November 11, 2026, Speak’s US Black Friday address (speak.com/us/bfcm) sent visitors to the Speak homepage, which showed no sale. The homepage says pricing varies by plan, region and current promotions, and that the app shows the most accurate price. The Lingtuitive Black Friday list says Speak doesn’t run Black Friday sales, so if your plan is to wait, check the app before November 27 rather than counting on a deal.

What were Speak’s past Black Friday deals?

The only one we could document is from 2025, and it was modest.

The 2025 page started a 7-day free trial with a Black Friday sale tag, and a learner in a r/languagelearning thread that weekend said Speak was about 20% off. The page itself listed Premium at $83.99 a year and Premium Plus at $164.99, the same as the regular prices, and didn’t show a discounted total. If the 20% came off those prices, Premium would have cost about $67 a year and Premium Plus about $132. Archived copies show the same page, still advertising 20% off, as late as May 2026.

How do you get a lower price on Speak?

Start the 7-day free trial on Speak’s website and look at the price on the checkout screen before the trial ends. If Speak runs a sale, that is where it shows up. Speak’s local sites run their own offers, and a Taiwanese Speak blog post notes that web-only offers don’t apply to App Store purchases. The yearly plan is already the cheaper way to pay: Premium is $17.99 a month or $83.99 a year on the US App Store, so a year costs about $7 a month.

Is the Speak Black Friday deal worth waiting for?

Not really. Even if a 20% offer comes back, it saves you about $17 on Premium, less than one month at the monthly price. If you want to try Speak now, the trial costs nothing for a week, and the price you see is probably the price you would pay on Black Friday too.

When Nur Baysal tested Speak’s Spanish course for our Speak review, the Tutor Lessons explained each situation and let her practice phrases before a conversation. The feedback stopped at “Perfect” and “Good” badges, though, and a café roleplay with several characters made turn-taking hard to follow.

If your main goal is to speak, our pick is Copycat Cafe (we make it). You hear an everyday conversation, say each line aloud with a 0–100 pronunciation score on every word, then use it with Copy, your AI conversation partner. From November 22 to December 1, 2026, Personal and Family plans are 40% off: $17.40 a month or $104.40 a year in the US instead of $29 or $174, and you keep that price when you renew. Every plan includes a 7-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first payment.
