# FluentU vs False Friends

The clearest difference is review sentiment: False Friends at 100% against FluentU's 56%. False Friends also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 14). FluentU's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 3) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FluentU sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. False Friends asks for nothing beyond the download.
