# #LearnABC vs The Alphabet

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Alphabet at 100% against #LearnABC's 25%. The Alphabet also leads on ads (none vs shown). #LearnABC's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. #LearnABC sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and The Alphabet sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

#LearnABC holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 44 and 115 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of #LearnABC's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Alphabet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

#LearnABC ships an update every 4 months, The Alphabet every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
