Vocabulary from your reading

Stickly vs. Readlang vs. LingQ: What’s different?

All three connect reading with vocabulary. The practical question is where you want that reading to happen and how you want saved words to return. Use the table as a starting point, then test your own article.

Add Stickly to ChromeSee the reading loop

Choose a workflow, not a promised shortcut to fluency.

One word. Two websites. Another chance to recall.

An English-learning example with a German meaning. These sentences were written for this explanation.

1. An article about urban gardens

The garden is part of a sustainable plan for the neighbourhood.

You select “sustainable” and request a translation.

Meaning in this example: nachhaltig

The word is stored in your vocabulary collection.

2. Later: a different article about housing

The team is looking for sustainable ways to build homes.

Saved word, due for review

If the saved word appears on an eligible page and is due, you can open a short review.

What meaning comes to mind? Open the explanation

Here “sustainable” again means “nachhaltig”. A due review in Stickly asks you to enter an answer. This explanation does not record a review result.

Schematic explanation, not a product screenshot. Re-encounters depend on your reading. Highlights and inline practice have separate controls.

Readlang combines a reader with word review

Readlang documents both an online reader and a Web Reader. Its feature page lists vocabulary management, adaptive spaced-repetition flashcards, and Anki export.

LingQ organizes content as lessons

LingQ offers a content library and an importer. The import guide describes opening saved material in My Lessons; its help center describes a spaced-repetition Due for Review list.

Stickly resurfaces words in your later browsing

Stickly translates selected text on the page and stores vocabulary from that flow. On later eligible pages, saved words can be highlighted, and due words can offer inline recall. The word hub provides a separate place to manage and review words.

That loop suits reading spread across sources. It depends on page eligibility and word reappearance. It does not replace a content library or ensure that every due word appears while you browse.

Resolve the choice with a small trial

  1. Choose whether you want original pages, a reader, or imported lessons.
  2. Use one article and one word to test the complete path.
  3. Check your language pair, permissions, review options, and current plans.
  4. Keep the tool whose reading routine you want to repeat.

Questions about this workflow

Are the products independent of each other?

Stickly is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Readlang or LingQ. This is a Stickly-authored comparison, with competitor facts linked to their official sources.

Does “not verified” mean a feature is missing?

No. This comparison covers documented workflows and has not tested every feature, plan or platform. Check an uncertain requirement directly with the provider. Unknown is not the same as absent.
