One by one
Pick it if…
One line on who each tool suits, from what its own pages say, with the pages we read.
MockLive AI
Live voice conversation.
You want a live examiner and pronunciation scored, and would rather buy a pack of tests than a subscription.
Speakative
Live voice conversation.
You want a live examiner with pronunciation scored, on a monthly plan.
SpeakMetry
Live voice conversation.
You want a fixed pass for your study period that doesn’t renew on its own.
Mockeva
Live voice conversation, plus recorded practice.
You want an Android app as well as the web, or a low monthly price.
EnglishTests.AI
Spoken questions and answers.
You want to start without an account and practise a little every day.
ParrotTalk
You record each answer, then submit for scoring.
You want everything free and don’t need a live conversation.
IELTS Mocks

Method
How we checked
We read each tool’s public website, help pages, terms and app store listings on 12 October 2026. We didn’t sign up, pay, or test scoring accuracy, so this compares what each tool says, not how well it works.
Ashore is our product. Its row follows the same rules, including where it falls short: it doesn’t score pronunciation yet and it needs an account.
Prices and plans change often, and some vary by country, so check the tool’s own page before you pay.
