# Babbel vs Quazzl AI

The clearest difference is monetization model: Quazzl AI at free with in-app purchases against Babbel's subscription. Quazzl AI also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (60% vs 44%). Babbel's advantage is ratings volume (754K vs 94) and chart position (#8 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence 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 Quazzl AI sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.00 per month. 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 Babbel against 4.7 for Quazzl AI. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Babbel has 754K ratings behind it against 94, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of Babbel's written reviews are positive against 60% of Quazzl AI's.

Babbel ships an update every 4 days, Quazzl AI every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
