Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Learn Thai at 5.0 against Learn Thai (Beginners)'s 4.7. Learn Thai also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0).

Both are free to download. Learn Thai sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Learn Thai (Beginners) sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Learn Thai holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn Thai (Beginners) has 51 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Learn Thai's written reviews are positive against 57% of Learn Thai (Beginners)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Learn Thai ships an update monthly, Learn Thai (Beginners) every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
