With our Nonsense you WILL NOT: • Get fluent in 30 days • Unscramble sentences • Get "easy" language examples • Increase your test scores in just 10 hours • Be harassed by colorful birds • Learn how to order coffee* What you WILL do is: • Immerse in Hollywood movie scenes • Understand words and grammar with in-context explanations • Hear many different voices and ways of saying things • Learn how native speakers actually use the language • Remember what you learn forever • Be able to quote Shrek in foreign language Learn 39 languages for free from your favorite movies: English, Spanish (Latin America), Spanish (Spain), French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Chinese (Simplified), Italian, Japanese, Korean, Czech, Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Slovak, Greek, Romanian, Croatian, Bulgarian, Slovenian, Lithuanian, Serbian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Georgian, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Urdu, Thai, Farsi, Hebrew and Arabic.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: LyricFluent at none against Nonsense's shown. LyricFluent also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 404). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LyricFluent sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Nonsense sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
