Verdict
The clearest difference is price: App CDMX at Free against Larousse Spanish Basic's $1.99. App CDMX also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 13 months). Larousse Spanish Basic's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

App CDMX is free to download; Larousse Spanish Basic costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
App CDMX holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App CDMX has 580 ratings behind it against 75, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Larousse Spanish Basic ships an update every 13 months, App CDMX every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
