# TeachMe vs Splash Mini

The clearest difference is price: Splash Mini at Free against TeachMe's $2.99. Splash Mini also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (6.7K vs 55). TeachMe's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and review sentiment (78% vs 53%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Splash Mini is free to download; TeachMe costs $2.99 up front. Splash Mini sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. TeachMe asks for nothing beyond the download.

Splash Mini holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splash Mini has 6.7K ratings behind it against 55, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of TeachMe's written reviews are positive against 53% of Splash Mini's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TeachMe ships an update every 2 months, Splash Mini every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
