Only for beginners
The subscription service is affordable, offering access to many languages. Pimsleur is great at getting you up and running in a language,so suited to beginners. After 20-30 hours your confidence increases, which is motivating Post A1 level it's too slow and the overly formal archaic vocabulary of little use. The first 3 levels are fine, but 4&5 a waste of time. The lack of explanations is irritating after 4 months. I've completed levels 1-5 in French & Spanish, 1-4 in German, 1&2 in Italian. I could never have a conversation in any language.
