# 流利说·英语 vs The Many

The clearest difference is rating: The Many at 5.0 against 流利说·英语's 4.3. The Many also leads on ads (none vs shown). 流利说·英语's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 流利说·英语 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and The Many sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Many holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 流利说·英语 has 1.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

流利说·英语 ships an update fortnightly, The Many monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
