Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Learn Spanish at 4.5 against Hello's 3.7. Learn Spanish also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 61). Hello's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn Spanish sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Hello asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Learn Spanish holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn Spanish has 1.6K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Hello's written reviews are positive against 48% of Learn Spanish's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hello ships an update every 5 months, Learn Spanish every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on July 17, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
