Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ACC Learn at 60% against BASIC's 0%. ACC Learn also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.8) and ratings volume (909 vs 5). BASIC's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 7 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
