Is HindiDaily Really Free to Use?

What is HindiDaily?
HindiDaily is described as a Hindi course built around real situations — greetings, work, the doctor, the apartment, the bank — with listen-and-speak drills and spaced repetition. Unit 1 teaches Devanagari, the Hindi script, and every note includes transliteration. It is described as having no account requirement, no ads, and no "hearts" system.
Is it actually free?
This is where the material we have is limited. The pricing information given only lists two paid plans:
- $4.99
- $29
No free tier is mentioned anywhere in the material provided. If HindiDaily is described elsewhere as free, that detail is not part of what we were given here, so we can't confirm it. We also can't tell you the difference between the $4.99 plan and the $29 plan — what features or content each includes isn't described. Confirm current pricing and what each plan includes directly on HindiDaily's own site before you pay.
Does it store what I type or paste?
The material doesn't say anything about whether text you paste or type into the app is stored. This isn't covered, so we can't confirm it here. Check directly with HindiDaily's site or support for their current privacy practice before you enter anything you consider sensitive.
Why is Hindi getting more attention right now?
A couple of numbers help explain the interest:
- According to the Duolingo Language Report 2025, Hindi entered the world's ten most-studied languages (#10) for the first time in 2025.
- Per the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, Indian Americans number 4.8 million people, making them the second-largest immigrant group in the U.S.
Beyond these two figures, the material doesn't explain further why interest is growing, so we won't speculate past what's given.
Is the Hindi alphabet hard to learn?
Not necessarily, based on the structure of the script itself. The Central Hindi Directorate notes that Devanagari has 11 vowels and 33 consonants, and every letter represents one sound — which makes reading fairly regular compared to less phonetic writing systems. That said, the material doesn't describe HindiDaily's own teaching method for the script in Unit 1, so how quickly a particular learner picks it up will depend on the lessons themselves, not just the alphabet's regularity.
What's still unknown
- Whether there's any free access at all, beyond the two paid plans listed.
- Whether pasted or typed text is stored.
- Whether any prior knowledge of an Indian language is needed before starting.
- What specifically separates the $4.99 plan from the $29 plan.
For all of these, the honest answer is: the material doesn't say. Ask HindiDaily's support directly, or check their site, before you commit any money or personal information.
