App store purchases

You can also buy a subscription in the Babbel app using the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

When you subscribe via an app store, your purchase is made directly through the store's platform (Apple or Google) and all payments are processed by that company. Depending on which app store you use, different payment methods, prices and terms may therefore apply.

Please note that transactions made via PayPal or app stores must be linked to a bank account or credit card. It is not possible to pay for Babbel using a credit balance.

You can change your payment method only if you have an active subscription. If your subscription has already been canceled you can purchase a new one and enter the updated payment information before finalising the transaction.

  1. Visit babbel.com and log in to your Babbel account.
  2. Click on the profile icon in the top right corner and select Profile and settings.
  3. Choose the Account Information tab on the left side.
