# Hangul vs Korean Learning

Hangul and Korean Learning both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Korean Learning's written reviews are positive against 47% of Hangul's. Korean Learning also leads on ads (none vs shown). Hangul's advantage is ratings volume (711 vs 43) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hangul sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Korean Learning sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Hangul against 4.7 for Korean Learning. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hangul has 711 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 47% of Hangul's written reviews are positive against 100% of Korean Learning's.

Hangul ships an update every 3 weeks, Korean Learning every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
