Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: InterviewMate at none against Learn German's shown. InterviewMate also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). Learn German's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
