# Busuu vs Use Dutch

The clearest difference is ads: Use Dutch at none against Busuu's shown. Use Dutch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Busuu's advantage is ratings volume (101K vs 1) and chart position (#63 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Busuu sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Use Dutch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Use Dutch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Busuu has 101K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Busuu's written reviews are positive against 100% of Use Dutch's.

Busuu ships an update weekly, Use Dutch every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
