# IELTSpeaking vs 慧选校

The clearest difference is rating: 慧选校 at 5.0 against IELTSpeaking's 4.6. IELTSpeaking's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, 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 慧选校 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

慧选校 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IELTSpeaking has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, 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 100% of 慧选校's.

IELTSpeaking ships an update every 6 days, 慧选校 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
