Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Personal Best Language App holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Personal Best Language App has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 2% of Personal Best Language App's written reviews are positive against 20% of Cambridge Active Learn's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Personal Best Language App ships an update every 5 months, Cambridge Active Learn every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
