# B2 vs Wortschatz

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: B2 at none against Wortschatz's 3. B2 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 26.0). Wortschatz's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (79 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wortschatz sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. B2 asks for nothing beyond the download.

B2 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wortschatz has 79 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of B2's written reviews are positive against 46% of Wortschatz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

B2 ships an update every 24 months, Wortschatz every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
