I hate that Duolingo has no grammar lessons or dictionary for vocabulary. Is that different for Babbel? How is that structured?

Duolingo also has a weird discrimination between iOS vs Web/Android. In the iPhone App you lose health with wrong answers and wait for regeneration or have to buy "hearts", this restriction is not present on Web.

Babbel does grammar, yes, as well as explanations of exceptions and idioms, and the sentences and dialogues are culturally relevant to the language
