The clearest difference is monetization model: Spark Tutor at free with in-app purchases against Learn Hebrew's subscription. Spark Tutor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Learn Hebrew's advantage is ratings volume (310 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn Hebrew sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Spark Tutor sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spark Tutor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn Hebrew has 310 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
