# Learn English vs Preschool.app

The clearest difference is rating: Preschool.app at 5.0 against Learn English's 4.5. Preschool.app also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 81%). Learn English's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn English sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Preschool.app sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Preschool.app holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn English has 1.9K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Learn English's written reviews are positive against 100% of Preschool.app's.

Learn English ships an update fortnightly, Preschool.app weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
