Goose VPN has had no security or privacy audit, so take it with a grain of salt. Also apparently the app itself isn't that great. Review by TechRadar here ('https://www.techradar.com/reviews/goose-vpn') (3 stars)
uTalk is a bunch of cards and games, not something like Duolingo with access to conversations. See a review here ('https://www.alllanguageresources.com/utalk/#:~:text=uTalk%20is%20like%20a%20souped,it%20can%20do%20for%20you.'). Apparently the subscription doesn't cover ALL languages so you'd have to pay extra.
So I don't know how much I'd give for those 2 "lifetime subscriptions" apps. Their value will most likely not go up overtime.
