SpanishDictionary.com Learning also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 49%) and ratings volume (201K vs 5.1K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SpanishDictionary.com Learning sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Speak Spanish sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.79 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
