# iHuman Chinese vs Learn Chinese Fast?

The clearest difference is rating: iHuman Chinese at 4.8 against Learn Chinese Fast?'s 4.4. iHuman Chinese also leads on ratings volume (5.7K vs 13) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Learn Chinese Fast?'s advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iHuman Chinese sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Learn Chinese Fast? sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iHuman Chinese holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iHuman Chinese has 5.7K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of iHuman Chinese's written reviews are positive against 75% of Learn Chinese Fast?'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iHuman Chinese ships an update fortnightly, Learn Chinese Fast? every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
