Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Language Learning at 4.8 against Gritty Spanish's 3.9. Language Learning also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 63%) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 98). Gritty Spanish's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gritty Spanish sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Language Learning sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gritty Spanish ships an update fortnightly, Language Learning every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
