Snpel is the first language learning tool that adapts to your vocabulary, not just your language level. The AI knows the words you already know and builds its replies around them. You choose what percentage of its response should use familiar words and how much should be new. By default, Snpel uses an 80/20 ratio: 80% of the AI’s response uses words you already know, while 20% introduces new vocabulary. Want an easier conversation? Set it to 90/10. Ready for more challenge? Move it to 50/50. You control the ratio anywhere in between. Don’t know a word? Tap it. The translation appears instantly, right inside the conversation. No switching apps, no breaking your flow. Snpel is built to make speaking possible before you know everything. You decide how much you understand and how much you learn. Learn Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Turkish, Russian or English. Snpel Premium — unlimited daily talking. $12.99/month, auto-renewing. Prices may vary by country or region and are shown in your local currency at purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Snpel at every 3 days against IELTS Test Prep's fortnightly. IELTS Test Prep's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
