# Bunpo vs Learn Languages with Dr. Moku

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bunpo at 18K against Learn Languages with Dr. Moku's 298. Bunpo also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bunpo sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Learn Languages with Dr. Moku sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bunpo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bunpo has 18K ratings behind it against 298, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Bunpo's written reviews are positive against 75% of Learn Languages with Dr. Moku's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bunpo ships an update every 9 days, Learn Languages with Dr. Moku every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
