# Learn Spanish vs Learning Decks

The clearest difference is rating: Learning Decks at 5.0 against Learn Spanish's 4.5. Learning Decks also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Learn Spanish's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn Spanish sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Learning Decks sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Learning Decks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn Spanish has 16K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Learn Spanish's written reviews are positive against 100% of Learning Decks's.

Learn Spanish ships an update fortnightly, Learning Decks every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
