# VerboLearn vs Emma

The clearest difference is rating: VerboLearn at 5.0 against Emma's 4.6. VerboLearn also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Emma's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VerboLearn sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and Emma sells 39 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VerboLearn holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Emma has 4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

VerboLearn ships an update every 3 weeks, Emma weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
