# In 24 Hours Learn Languages vs Drops

The clearest difference is ads: In 24 Hours Learn Languages at none against Drops's shown. In 24 Hours Learn Languages also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.6). Drops's advantage is ratings volume (72K vs 182) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. In 24 Hours Learn Languages sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Drops sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Drops holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 182, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of In 24 Hours Learn Languages's written reviews are positive against 75% of Drops's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

In 24 Hours Learn Languages ships an update fortnightly, Drops every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
