# SpanishDictionary.com Learning vs Parrot

The clearest difference is monetization model: SpanishDictionary.com Learning at free with in-app purchases against Parrot's subscription. SpanishDictionary.com Learning also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 46%) and ratings volume (200K vs 17K). Parrot's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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 Parrot sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for SpanishDictionary.com Learning against 4.7 for Parrot. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SpanishDictionary.com Learning has 200K ratings behind it against 17K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of SpanishDictionary.com Learning's written reviews are positive against 46% of Parrot's.

SpanishDictionary.com Learning ships an update monthly, Parrot weekly. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
