Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LearnEnglish Videos at 91% against DynEd's 43%. LearnEnglish Videos also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (443 vs 26). DynEd's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
