Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Edmicro HSK at none against Speak Chinese's shown. Edmicro HSK also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%). Speak Chinese's advantage is ratings volume (283 vs 3). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Speak Chinese sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Edmicro HSK sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Speak Chinese holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speak Chinese has 283 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Speak Chinese's written reviews are positive against 100% of Edmicro HSK's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Speak Chinese ships an update every 9 days, Edmicro HSK every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
