# FlashAcademy Language Learning vs EWA

The clearest difference is monetization model: EWA at free with in-app purchases against FlashAcademy Language Learning's subscription. EWA also leads on ratings volume (196K vs 259) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). FlashAcademy Language Learning's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FlashAcademy Language Learning sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and EWA sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EWA holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EWA has 196K ratings behind it against 259, so its average is the more settled of the two.
