# Drops vs Learn Languages

The clearest difference is ads: Learn Languages at none against Drops's shown. Learn Languages also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). Drops's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (72K vs 7.6K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drops sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Learn Languages sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 2 months. 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 Drops against 4.7 for Learn Languages. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 7.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Drops's written reviews are positive against 83% of Learn Languages's.

Drops ships an update weekly, Learn Languages every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
