Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BU Mobile App at none against Learn Thai's 3. BU Mobile App also leads on ratings volume (272 vs 2) and review sentiment (50% vs 40%). Learn Thai's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn Thai sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. BU Mobile App asks for nothing beyond the download.
Learn Thai holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BU Mobile App has 272 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of BU Mobile App'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.
BU Mobile App ships an update every 5 weeks, Learn Thai monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
