Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Earthlingo at 4.5 against Breakthrough! Visual Novel's 3.7. Earthlingo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (66 vs 3). Breakthrough! Visual Novel's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
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. Earthlingo sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Breakthrough! Visual Novel sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Earthlingo holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Earthlingo has 66 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Earthlingo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Breakthrough! Visual Novel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
