Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ¡Learn Spanish! at 4.7 against Hello's 3.7. ¡Learn Spanish! also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 61). Hello's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.5). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
