# Ulearn vs X

The clearest difference is rating: Ulearn at 4.6 against X's 2.2. Ulearn also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 43%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). X's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ulearn sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. X asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ulearn holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ulearn has 236 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Ulearn's written reviews are positive against 43% of X's.

Ulearn ships an update every 5 days, X every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
