Languify analyzes spoken English delivery; BAND9AI scores IELTS Speaking practice against FC, LR, GRA, and Pron. Languify-style tools highlight pace, clarity, and confidence proxies, useful for awareness. They are not built to judge whether your Part 3 answer develops logically or whether vocabulary fits the question. BAND9AI maps feedback to IELTS descriptors on practice recordings so you know which criterion caps your band.
