Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Learn Dutch (Beginners) at 90% against Codex4's 50%. Learn Dutch (Beginners) also leads on ratings volume (166 vs 2). Codex4's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn Dutch (Beginners) sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Codex4 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Codex4 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn Dutch (Beginners) has 166 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Learn Dutch (Beginners)'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Codex4's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Learn Dutch (Beginners) ships an update monthly, Codex4 every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
