Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DiaPlayer at none against Learn's 3. DiaPlayer also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks). Learn's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17). On price, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
