# Phrases vs Language Learning

Phrases and Language Learning both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of Language Learning's written reviews are positive against 75% of Phrases's. Language Learning also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 140). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Phrases sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Language Learning sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Language Learning holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Language Learning has 1.4K ratings behind it against 140, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Phrases's written reviews are positive against 91% of Language Learning's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
