# Teach Yourself Library vs Language Level Check

The clearest difference is rating: Language Level Check at 5.0 against Teach Yourself Library's 3.9. Language Level Check also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). Teach Yourself Library's advantage is ratings volume (144 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Teach Yourself Library sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Language Level Check sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Language Level Check holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Teach Yourself Library has 144 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Teach Yourself Library ships an update every 4 months, Language Level Check weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
