# How's It Going vs Learning English

The clearest difference is ads: How's It Going at none against Learning English's shown. How's It Going also leads on ratings volume (278 vs 42) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Learning English's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (92% vs 80%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. How's It Going sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Learning English sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $8.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for How's It Going against 4.6 for Learning English. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: How's It Going has 278 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two.
