# Korean vs Language Toybox

The clearest difference is monetization model: Korean at ad-supported against Language Toybox's subscription. Korean also leads on ratings volume (3.4K vs 3) and device support (4 vs 2). Language Toybox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Korean sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Language Toybox sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. 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 Language Toybox. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Korean has 3.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Korean ships an update every 3 months, Language Toybox every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
