Both are free to download. Kalam sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Harf Learning sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Harf Learning holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kalam has 6.8K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Kalam's written reviews are positive against 100% of Harf Learning's.
Kalam ships an update every 10 days, Harf Learning weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
