The clearest difference is ratings volume: EWA at 196K against Learn English (Beginners)'s 1.2K. EWA also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and chart position (#125 vs unranked). Learn English (Beginners)'s advantage is review sentiment (97% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EWA sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Learn English (Beginners) sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
