# Writing Wizard vs Arabic 101

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Writing Wizard at 5K against Arabic 101's 931. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Writing Wizard sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Arabic 101 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Writing Wizard against 4.5 for Arabic 101. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Writing Wizard has 5K ratings behind it against 931, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of Writing Wizard's written reviews are positive against 67% of Arabic 101's.

Writing Wizard ships an update every 4 months, Arabic 101 every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
