Gritty Spanish also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and ratings volume (98 vs 19). Superfluent Classic's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.9).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Gritty Spanish sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Superfluent Classic sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Superfluent Classic holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gritty Spanish has 98 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Gritty Spanish's written reviews are positive against 0% of Superfluent Classic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Gritty Spanish ships an update fortnightly, Superfluent Classic monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
