# Talksy vs Language Learning

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Talksy at 80% against Language Learning's 25%. Talksy also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Language Learning's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (15K vs 8). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talksy sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $40.49 per month and Language Learning sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Language Learning holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Language Learning has 15K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Talksy's written reviews are positive against 25% of Language Learning's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Talksy ships an update every 4 weeks, Language Learning weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 24, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
