Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UrduLingo at none against Kalam's 18. UrduLingo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Kalam's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6.8K vs 2). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
