# Romanian by Nemo vs EWA

The clearest difference is ads: Romanian by Nemo at none against EWA's shown. Romanian by Nemo also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). EWA's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (196K vs 590). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Romanian by Nemo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and EWA sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Romanian by Nemo against 4.7 for EWA. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EWA has 196K ratings behind it against 590, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 94% of Romanian by Nemo's written reviews are positive against 75% of EWA's.

Romanian by Nemo ships an update every 2 months, EWA weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
