# Russian & Turkish vs BeFluent

The clearest difference is monetization model: Russian & Turkish at free with in-app purchases against BeFluent's subscription. Russian & Turkish also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). BeFluent's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Russian & Turkish sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and BeFluent sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Russian & Turkish holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Russian & Turkish has 40 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Russian & Turkish's written reviews are positive against 83% of BeFluent's.

Russian & Turkish ships an update every 4 days, BeFluent every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
