# Native Camp vs English Core

The clearest difference is ads: English Core at none against Native Camp's shown. Native Camp's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Native Camp sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and English Core sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Native Camp ships an update every 4 days, English Core every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
