Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Vietnamese by Nemo at none against Tagalog Learning's shown.

Tagalog Learning's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
