Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Harf Learning at free with in-app purchases against Mathani's subscription. Harf Learning also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Mathani's advantage is ratings volume (69 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
