Speakly is part of Genspark, DanDin is an app for Arabic
Speakly gives more free words and runs on more devices. DanDin costs less to pay for and is built around Arabic and English.
In short
Genspark Speakly is a dictation app from Genspark: you sign in with a Genspark account, and it has Arabic pages. It wins on two things we will say plainly: its free plan is 4,000 words a week after a 7-day unlimited trial, against 2,000 with DanDin, and it runs on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, even Windows on ARM. Where DanDin differs: the price if you pay. There is no Speakly-only plan; you pay for Genspark, and Plus is 24.99 dollars a month, against 16.99 for DanDin Pro. And focus: DanDin is built for Arabic and English, with an Arabic interface and a mode that writes each sentence in its own language, while Speakly says "50+" languages in one place and "100+" in another. DanDin is our product. Every Speakly fact here comes from the Speakly and Genspark pages, read on 8 October 2026, and we have not used it.

Common questions
Is Genspark Speakly free?

How much is Speakly if I pay?
There is no Speakly-only plan. You pay for Genspark: Plus is 24.99 dollars a month or 239.99 yearly. DanDin Pro is 16.99 a month or 149 a year.
Does Speakly write Arabic?
Its Arabic page and the Genspark help centre name Arabic among its languages, and it says you can mix languages mid-sentence. It names no dialects. We have not tried it.
