# Voice Dream vs Sololearn

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sololearn at 70% against Voice Dream's 43%. Sololearn also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (82K vs 14K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Voice Dream sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Sololearn sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sololearn holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sololearn has 82K ratings behind it against 14K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
