# LearnMatch vs LingoDeer

The clearest difference is monetization model: LearnMatch at free with in-app purchases against LingoDeer's subscription. LearnMatch also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). LingoDeer's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 250) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LearnMatch sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $20.99 per 3 months and LingoDeer sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
