Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Learning It at free against LetterSchool's free with in-app purchases. Learning It also leads on iOS requirement (10.3 vs 15.0). LetterSchool's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 64). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
