# SpeechAce vs English Mastery

The clearest difference is review sentiment: English Mastery at 73% against SpeechAce's 0%. English Mastery also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (444 vs 1). SpeechAce's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SpeechAce sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and English Mastery sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SpeechAce holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: English Mastery has 444 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of SpeechAce's written reviews are positive against 73% of English Mastery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SpeechAce ships an update every 4 months, English Mastery every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
