# Babbel vs English Verb Conjugator

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.

Both are free to download. Babbel sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month and English Verb Conjugator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 4.8 for English Verb Conjugator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Babbel has 758K ratings behind it against 397, 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 79% of English Verb Conjugator's.
