# Babbel vs Teuida

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Teuida at 95% against Babbel's 44%. Teuida also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Babbel's advantage is ratings volume (754K vs 58K) and chart position (#9 vs #144). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Babbel sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month and Teuida sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Teuida holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Babbel has 754K ratings behind it against 58K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of Babbel's written reviews are positive against 95% of Teuida's.

Babbel ships an update every 4 days, Teuida every 3 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
