A few things worth knowing.

Before you switch, find the answers that matter to your reading.

Does LingQ have a browser extension?

Yes. The LingQ Importer brings articles and supported videos into LingQ as lessons. Stickly’s reading workflow stays on the original website. Both use browser tools; the distinction is where you read and review.

Is Stickly free?

Yes. Free includes 10 single-word translations per week, with up to 20 before your first saved-word review. You can start without an account. Premium removes the weekly translation limit and adds phrase and paragraph translations for US$4.99/month or US$49/year. See the pricing comparison above for the other tools’ free limits.

Is Stickly cheaper than LingQ?

The public USD web prices checked on 14 October 2026 list Stickly Premium at US$4.99/month or US$49/year, and LingQ Premium at US$14.99/month or US$119.99 for 12 months. Annual plans are billed for the full term. Prices and offers can vary by region and billing channel; check the provider before buying.

Can Stickly replace LingQ’s books, audio and lessons?

Choose LingQ if its reading and listening library, media imports and lesson organization are what you need. Stickly focuses on vocabulary from your browsing, with optional dedicated review. It is not a like-for-like replacement for the whole LingQ library workflow.

Will Stickly change every website?

You control selection translation, saved-word highlights and inline practice separately. You can pause them for a tab or a whole website. The extension needs permission to work on a site, and some pages or documents are not supported. A word only resurfaces when it actually appears in eligible text.

Make the next word stick.
