# Write It! Korean vs HanguGO

The clearest difference is ads: HanguGO at none against Write It! Korean's shown. HanguGO also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Write It! Korean's advantage is ratings volume (3.8K vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Write It! Korean sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and HanguGO sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $249.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
