Product claims link to primary sources
When an article describes another company's product, readers can open the company page behind the claim. Research articles link to the papers they discuss.
Editorial standards
We publish comparisons of learning apps while making one ourselves. These are the rules our editors follow to keep every article useful, clear, and accountable.
Clear rules for every article.
Every article should answer a real question, show the references behind its claims, and help the reader understand the tradeoff.
We also state that Cadence is ours. A useful comparison cannot hide who published it or pretend one product fits every learner.
What every article has to do.
Recommendations start with the learner's goal
We compare products by the job a reader needs to do. A language app, a university course, and a daily learning app should not be forced into one generic ranking.
Every recommendation names the tradeoff
Roundups state what each product does well and where it stops fitting. Cadence is held to the same standard as every other product.
We disclose that Cadence is ours
Learning Cadence publishes these articles and makes Cadence. That ownership appears directly under the byline on every commercial roundup and evaluation.
We recommend the better fit
Some goals are better served by Khan Academy, Coursera, Duolingo, Blinkist, or another specialist. The article should say so plainly.
Research claims name the study
Evidence articles name the authors, journal, and year, then link to the paper. Numbers we cannot trace to a study are identified as unverified instead of being repeated as fact.
Source reviews stay on schedule
Editors record source reviews in the publication data and recheck them on a fixed schedule. These dates support the editorial workflow instead of appearing as generic labels in every article.
Corrections change the article
When a factual claim is wrong, we correct the article and recheck the references. Readers and companies can report an error directly to the Cadence team.
What we are not.
- We are a learning app company writing about our own category. Read our recommendations with that commercial interest in mind.
- We do not buy every paid tier of every product or test every signed-in feature.
- We are not a research organization. Articles that cite studies are summarizing published work, not conducting it.
- Catalog sizes, free tiers, and product claims from other companies are not independently audited by Cadence.
- Cadence lessons can contain errors. Cadence does not provide accredited degrees or professional certification.
How to tell us we are wrong.
Email support@learningcadence.app with the article and the specific claim. We correct factual errors in the article and recheck the references behind them.
If a company believes we have described its product inaccurately, send the official page that says otherwise and we will correct the article and its source list.
About how we publish.
Who writes these articles?
The Learning Cadence editorial team. Articles are published under Cadence so the team owns the work, the standards, and any corrections.
You make a competing product. Why should I trust a roundup you publish?
You should account for our commercial interest. Every commercial article says that Cadence is ours, links its references, names our product's tradeoffs, and recommends another product when it fits the goal better.
How do you decide what goes in a roundup?
We organize products by the job a reader is trying to do. That makes the comparison useful even when the products serve different learning goals.
How often is this content updated?
Editors review the source list on a fixed schedule and record that work in the publication data. Visible article dates change when the article itself changes.
How do I report an error?
Email support@learningcadence.app with the article and the specific claim. We correct factual errors in the article and recheck the references behind them.
