# IELTSpeaking vs COURSEMO

The clearest difference is review sentiment: IELTSpeaking at 94% against COURSEMO's 50%. IELTSpeaking also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 2). COURSEMO's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IELTSpeaking sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and COURSEMO sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

IELTSpeaking holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IELTSpeaking has 1.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of IELTSpeaking's written reviews are positive against 50% of COURSEMO's.
