Busuu referral link: 30 days of Premium Plus for new learners
Busuu is a language-learning app and website from Busuu Limited (London) with structured courses in 14 languages from A1 to C1 and feedback from fluent speakers. Under Busuu's referral terms, a new user who registers through an invite link gets a 30-day free trial of all Premium Plus features.
No extra sign-up bonus via this link — the provider's standard terms apply.
Referral link disclosure: the button above is our referral link. If you sign up through it, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The bonus and terms are set by Busuu and can change — check them on the official site before you sign up.
How to get started
- Open Busuu through the link on this page; it goes to busuu.com/refer with the invite code already included, so there is nothing to type.
- Register a new Busuu account. The referral terms require that you are at least 18 and have never had a Busuu account under any email address before.
- Pick your language, then start the free trial in the app (App Store or Google Play) to unlock 30 days of Premium Plus.
- Decide before day 30: the subscription renews automatically at the price shown, and you cancel it through the app store, not inside the Busuu app.
What is Busuu?
Busuu is a language-learning service run by Busuu Limited, a company registered in England and Wales. It works on the web and as apps for iOS and Android. According to its website and App Store listing, the main features are:
- Courses in 14 languages: English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian, Korean, Arabic, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch and Polish.
- Structured lessons from A1 to C1, with progress tests along the way.
- Community feedback: fluent speakers in the Busuu community review your writing and speaking exercises, and you can correct learners of your own language.
- Personalised Study Plan with reminders, plus Smart Review that saves grammar and vocabulary from lessons for later revision.
- Video flashcards, pronunciation and conversation practice.
- Official Busuu certificates, plus specialised courses (travel, manga).
Who it's for
Busuu suits self-paced learners who want a structured course with levels from A1 to C1, a Study Plan and real people checking their written and spoken answers. It is less suitable if you need live lessons with a teacher or a language outside the 14 on offer. Many features are free (with ads); a subscription unlocks the rest.
Busuu referral programme terms
Busuu runs a refer-a-friend programme with published terms at busuu.com. The key points:
For the person who signs up (referred customer):
- Register through a personal referral link, on busuu.com or in the iOS or Android app.
- Be at least 18, and never have registered with Busuu under any email address or alias.
- The 30-day free trial starts when you start a free trial subscription through the app store, and gives access to all Premium Plus features free for 30 days.
- After 30 days you are charged the displayed subscription price automatically unless you cancel, and you must cancel via the App Store or Google Play, not via the Busuu app.
For the person who shares a link (referrer):
- Must be at least 18 and a registered free Busuu user without a valid premium subscription.
- Gets a reward for each verified qualified referral, with details sent by email. A referral counts only if the friend starts the free trial within 14 days of registering through the link.
- Up to 12 qualified referrals per referrer. Rewards have no cash value, are non-transferable and can't be used to buy extra subscriptions.
- Self-referrals, fake or multiple accounts and bulk or unsolicited emails are prohibited, and Busuu may delay or refuse rewards after verification.
Pricing and subscriptions
Busuu has a free tier and paid subscriptions (Premium and Premium Plus). Prices vary by country and store. The US App Store listing shows:
| Item (as listed on the App Store) | Price |
|---|---|
| 12 Months Premium Plus | $139.99 |
| 12 Months Premium | $70.00 – $138.99 |
| Annual Subscription | $79.99 |
| Monthly plans | $6.99 – $23.49 |
The listing doesn't say which monthly item belongs to which tier, so check the price shown in the app before the trial ends. App Store subscriptions auto-renew unless turned off 24 hours before the period ends.
Cancellation, refunds and limits
- Cancelling: web subscriptions under Settings → Subscription; app store subscriptions only through that store.
- 14-day refund right: Busuu's terms allow cancelling and claiming a refund for any reason within 14 days of the contract, minus the value of service already used.
- Age: 13+ for Busuu generally; 18+ for the referral programme.
- Region: the referral terms list no country restrictions, but prices and availability depend on your app store.
