What they have in common
Most accent apps teach American English. These two are among the few built only for Received Pronunciation, the standard British accent. Both ask you to read aloud, both use speech AI to judge your pronunciation, and both focus on the sounds that separate British from American English, like the silent R and the long bath vowel.
Where they differ
Feedback
BritSpeech grades a defined checklist of RP features, which makes it easy to see which British sounds you have and which you don't. Accent Lab scores whole sentences, including rhythm and intonation, and points at the specific words that gave you away, with a short tip for each.
Practice
BritSpeech is built around very short lessons on single words and a plan generated from your first reading. Accent Lab is built around a daily loop: listen to a native sentence, say it, fix the flagged sounds, with streaks and progress charts.
Price
On the UK App Store both are free to download with paid plans. Accent Lab's listed monthly plan is lower; BritSpeech requires a subscription to practise at all, with a 7-day trial for new subscribers.
