Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Learn English by Hello at none against EWA's shown. Learn English by Hello also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). EWA's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (197K vs 148). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
