# LetterSchool vs Write It! Thai

The clearest difference is ads: LetterSchool at none against Write It! Thai's shown. LetterSchool also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 400). Write It! Thai's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 54%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LetterSchool sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Write It! Thai sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Write It! Thai holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LetterSchool has 17K ratings behind it against 400, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of LetterSchool's written reviews are positive against 78% of Write It! Thai's.

LetterSchool ships an update every 2 months, Write It! Thai every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
