Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Wlingua at 4.9 against Learn Spanish's 4.5. Wlingua also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (87% vs 78%). Learn Spanish's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 930) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
