Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: tutor.new at free with in-app purchases against Language Learning's subscription. tutor.new also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Language Learning's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 3) and chart position (#49 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Language Learning sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and tutor.new sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
