Anki is free. If you need gamification, then perhaps memrize is for you. I’d just go with anki though. Ankidroid is a good app to work with the anki decks.

I just started using Duolingo to learn Spanish. Can anyone recommend alternatives they have had success with that function the same way?

Use Anki and get a free 1k or 5k high-frequency community deck from Anki website. Or get Refold 1k deck (paid) for anki.
If you don’t mind paying, use lingvist (paid) and learn 1k words from there. cancel subscription once done, probably will take 1-3 months.
Try reading graded readers at the same time.
read up on some basic high frequency grammar.
The idea is to learn high frequency vocab and get to consuming content( using language) as soon as possible.

I tried out a bunch, including Babbel, Busuu, Language Transfer, Mango, and Memrise. I didn’t like them for one reason or another. I finally landed on Lingodeer. It’s similar to Duolingo, but it is a paid app. (You can try level 1 of any language for free.)
The regular subscription price is definitely not worth it. It’s okay (not great, but not awful) when they do their sales. But I felt okay about paying human workers.
