Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Fun Chinese Flashcards at free against Learn Chinese's free with in-app purchases. Fun Chinese Flashcards also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). Learn Chinese's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn Chinese sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Fun Chinese Flashcards sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Fun Chinese Flashcards holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn Chinese has 1.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Learn Chinese's written reviews are positive against 100% of Fun Chinese Flashcards's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
