# EWA vs Fully Fluent

The clearest difference is ratings volume: EWA at 196K against Fully Fluent's 477. EWA also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#105 vs unranked). Fully Fluent's advantage is review sentiment (89% 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 Fully Fluent sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for EWA against 4.6 for Fully Fluent. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EWA has 196K ratings behind it against 477, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of EWA's written reviews are positive against 89% of Fully Fluent's.

EWA ships an update weekly, Fully Fluent every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
