# Learn Spanish vs Touch & Explore

Learn Spanish's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn Spanish sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Touch & Explore sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
