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 of licensed shows: it has a library of its own, on Basic and Deep it turns whatever YouTube video you paste into a lesson, and on every plan it puts someone next to you who explains it.
What Deep In is. An app for learning English and Spanish from real video. You watch a YouTube video — a podcast, a vlog, an interview, a show — with the transcript under it in the video’s language and in your own language, word by word. Hold a word to see its meaning, or ask Solomia — an AI who can see what you are watching — what a phrase 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 sells a lifetime plan, which we don't offer. If paying once matters most to you, that is a real answer and we will not pretend otherwise.
- You are learning a language other than English or Spanish. Deep In teaches English and Spanish.
- 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 on Basic and Deep, 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. Every plan carries 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?
By the month, yes on Lite: $7 against around $12 for Lingopie. Basic is $14 a month and adds your own YouTube videos; Deep is $21 and adds the live call. By the year Lite is $60, Basic $95 and Deep $135; Lingopie's yearly price depends on country, store and number of languages, so compare in the store you would buy from.
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.
