# Kalaam vs Zero2Arabic

The clearest difference is monetization model: Kalaam at free with in-app purchases against Zero2Arabic's subscription. Kalaam also leads on ratings volume (325 vs 1). Zero2Arabic's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kalaam sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Zero2Arabic sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $25.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
