Rosetta Stone plans and prices
As of October 2026, Rosetta Stone's buy page lists two plans for individuals: $19.99 billed monthly, or $159 billed yearly (about $13.25 a month). Every plan includes all 25 languages, TruAccent, Chat Missions, flashcards and Sapphire Studio. The site no longer shows a separate homeschool edition or a lifetime plan for new buyers; homeschool families buy the standard subscription.

View wishlistIs Rosetta Stone worth the money?
Rosetta Stone is one of the easiest ways to give an older child a self-teaching world language, since parents don't need to know the language and every plan includes all 25 languages. It shines for pronunciation and everyday vocabulary, but it explains very little grammar and the current app is built for adults, not kids. Pair it with conversation practice or a grammar resource for high school credit.
