# Influent Language Learning vs Breakthrough! Visual Novel

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Breakthrough! Visual Novel at 100% against Influent Language Learning's 57%. Influent Language Learning's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Influent Language Learning sells 19 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.

Influent Language Learning holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Influent Language Learning has 76 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Influent Language Learning'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.
