Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Drops at 4.7 against Learn Spanish Cards's 3.9. Drops also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (72K vs 147). Learn Spanish Cards's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
