Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Learn Thai at 5.0 against KengThai's 4.3. Learn Thai also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). KengThai's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 40%) and ratings volume (25 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. KengThai sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Learn Thai sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Learn Thai holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KengThai has 25 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of KengThai's written reviews are positive against 40% of Learn Thai's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
KengThai ships an update every 4 months, Learn Thai monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
