# Language Learning vs Topics

The clearest difference is rating: Language Learning at 4.8 against Topics's 3.8. Language Learning also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 50%) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 5). Topics's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Language Learning sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Topics sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Language Learning holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Language Learning has 1.4K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Language Learning's written reviews are positive against 50% of Topics's.

Language Learning ships an update every 5 weeks, Topics every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
