Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bunpo at 18K against LearnMatch's 250. Bunpo also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). LearnMatch's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. LearnMatch sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $20.99 per 3 months and Bunpo sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bunpo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bunpo has 18K ratings behind it against 250, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 73% and 73% positive.
LearnMatch ships an update monthly, Bunpo every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on July 6, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
