# SpanishDictionary.com Learning vs Passive Spanish

The clearest difference is ads: Passive Spanish at none against SpanishDictionary.com Learning's shown. Passive Spanish also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). SpanishDictionary.com Learning's advantage is ratings volume (200K vs 6) and chart position (#177 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 Passive Spanish sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Passive Spanish holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SpanishDictionary.com Learning has 200K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of SpanishDictionary.com Learning's written reviews are positive against 100% of Passive Spanish's.
