Deep In vs Lingopie
Lingopie alternative: Deep In, for the videos nobody licensed
Lingopie is a catalogue: licensed TV shows and films with clickable subtitles. Deep In is not a catalogue — it turns whatever YouTube video you paste into a lesson, and puts someone next to you who explains it.
What Deep In is. An app for learning English from real video. You watch a YouTube video — a podcast, a vlog, an interview, a show — with the transcript under it in English and in your own language, word by word. Tap any phrase and Solomia, an AI who can see what you are watching, explains what it means, why a native said it that way, and how it sounds in another accent. It runs on iPhone and Android, with the interface in eight languages.

When Lingopie is the better buy
- Lingopie is cheaper — substantially, on the annual plan. If budget is the deciding factor, that is a real answer and we will not pretend otherwise.
- You are learning one of the other fourteen languages. Deep In teaches English only.
- You want to watch television. Lingopie licenses real shows and films; Deep In does not have a catalogue of those and never will.
When Deep In is
- What you need to understand is not a TV show. A recruiter's interview, a trade podcast, a DMV explainer, a creator you already follow — Lingopie cannot add those, and pasting a link is the whole of Deep In's setup.
- A translation under the subtitle is not the answer you needed. Deep In explains why the phrase was built that way, what it carries, and what a native would say instead.
- You want to speak, not only watch. Both plans carry voice; Deep adds a live call where Solomia hears you and answers out loud.
Both can be true at once. These are not the same product with different logos. If the answer above is "Lingopie", take it — a tool you actually open beats one you bought to feel serious.
Questions people ask
Is Deep In cheaper than Lingopie?
No. Lingopie is around $12 a month and $144 a year; Deep In is $18 a month for Basic and $239 a year for Deep. We cost more because every conversation and every spoken word is generated at the moment you ask for it.
Can I watch Netflix shows in Deep In?
No. Deep In works with YouTube, which is what you can legally paste a link to. Lingopie licenses its own catalogue of shows and films — that is a different product, and it is the right one if watching series is the point.
Does Deep In have dual subtitles?
Yes — the original line and your own language under it, word by word, with the word being spoken highlighted as it is said.
Try it before deciding
The first 24 hours of Deep In need no account and no card. Watch something, tap the words you miss, talk to Solomia, and see whether the gap you have is the one it closes.
