# Spanish 101 vs Learning Decks

The clearest difference is rating: Learning Decks at 5.0 against Spanish 101's 4.5. Learning Decks also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 18 months). Spanish 101's advantage is ratings volume (294 vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spanish 101 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Learning Decks sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Learning Decks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spanish 101 has 294 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Spanish 101 ships an update every 18 months, Learning Decks every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
