# Prep vs Learning English

The clearest difference is update cadence: Prep at every 5 days against Learning English's every 2 weeks. Learning English's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prep sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Learning English sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Prep against 4.5 for Learning English. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 124 and 209 respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of Prep's written reviews are positive against 82% of Learning English's.

Prep ships an update every 5 days, Learning English every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
