# Korean vs Shape Language

The clearest difference is ads: Shape Language at none against Korean's shown. Shape Language also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Korean's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 2) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Korean sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Shape Language sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Korean against 5.0 for Shape Language. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Korean has 3.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of Korean's written reviews are positive against 100% of Shape Language's.
