# Korean vs Learn Korean

The clearest difference is rating: Korean at 4.9 against Learn Korean's 1.0. Korean also leads on ratings volume (3.4K vs 1). Learn Korean's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Korean sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Learn Korean asks for nothing beyond the download.

Korean holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Korean has 3.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
