Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Podly at none against Language Learning's shown. Podly also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (39 vs 7). Language Learning's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 57%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Language Learning sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Podly sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Podly holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Podly has 39 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Language Learning's written reviews are positive against 57% of Podly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Language Learning ships an update every 9 days, Podly every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
