Pros
Pro Translates native content quickly
You can read any content in your target language using the browser extension, and translate any words/sentences you don't know quickly.
Pro Creates flashcards from words you don't know
Readlang takes the words you translate most often and turns them into flashcards for you to practice.
Pro You can import long texts, including whole books
This is impossible or very annoying with other similar services.
Pro Courses specifically for travel are available
If you are looking to learn enough of a language specifically for travel, then their courses specifically for travelers are worth looking into.
They are slightly discounted at $7.99/month, and usually take 30-80 hrs.
These will teach you the important phrases you need to know, rather than forcing you to spend weeks on grammar at first.
Cons
Con Not a good way to learn a language by itself
It's not your standard learning website with structured courses. Instead, it helps you get more familiar with your target language by translating content when needed.
This can be really beneficial for someone trying to improve their fluency, but isn't going to directly teach you grammar. Readlang is better used to supplement your learning while learning from structured courses.
Con Monthly subscription fee
The cost is $9.99/month (after the 14 day free trial).
