Verdict

The call

Babbel and English Verb Conjugator both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of English Verb Conjugator's written reviews are positive against 44% of Babbel's. English Verb Conjugator also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Babbel's advantage is ratings volume (758K vs 397) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
