Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LanguageClass at 5.0 against HelloWords's 4.4. LanguageClass also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). HelloWords's advantage is ratings volume (104 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HelloWords sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month and LanguageClass sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LanguageClass holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4.
