Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Go!Gaelic at none against Learn Irish (Beginners)'s 9. Go!Gaelic also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Learn Irish (Beginners)'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn Irish (Beginners) sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Go!Gaelic asks for nothing beyond the download.
Go!Gaelic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn Irish (Beginners) has 53 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Go!Gaelic's written reviews are positive against 100% of Learn Irish (Beginners)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Go!Gaelic ships an update every 3 months, Learn Irish (Beginners) monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
