# Learn Russian with Hello vs MTL Learn Russian

The clearest difference is rating: MTL Learn Russian at 4.8 against Learn Russian with Hello's 3.9. MTL Learn Russian also leads on ratings volume (105 vs 17). Learn Russian with Hello's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 15 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn Russian with Hello sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and MTL Learn Russian sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MTL Learn Russian holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MTL Learn Russian has 105 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Learn Russian with Hello's written reviews are positive against 64% of MTL Learn Russian's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Learn Russian with Hello ships an update every 3 months, MTL Learn Russian every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
