WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ◆ Real vocabulary and phrases, the way native speakers actually use them. ◆ Listening and reading skills through authentic videos, songs, and clips. ◆ Words from the shows, music, and creators you already watch. ◆ Language you'll actually hear, not just textbook examples.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 26s at 4.6 against Gravity's 4.1. 26s also leads on ratings volume (176 vs 37). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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. 26s sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Gravity sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
26s holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 176 and 37 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of 26s's written reviews are positive against 68% of Gravity's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
26s ships an update every 5 days, Gravity every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
