# Busuu vs Duspik

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Busuu at 101K against Duspik's 1. Busuu also leads on chart position (#67 vs unranked). Duspik's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Busuu sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Duspik sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Duspik 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.

Busuu ships an update weekly, Duspik every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
