# Korean vs 90 Day Korean

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 90 Day Korean at none against Korean's 2. 90 Day Korean also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.1). Korean's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 14 months) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Korean sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. 90 Day Korean asks for nothing beyond the download.

Korean holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Korean has 3.4K ratings behind it against 104, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Korean's written reviews are positive against 91% of 90 Day Korean's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Korean ships an update every 3 months, 90 Day Korean every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
