Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Learn Russian at 100% against MTL Learn Russian's 64%. Learn Russian also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 15 months). MTL Learn Russian's advantage is ratings volume (105 vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MTL Learn Russian holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MTL Learn Russian has 105 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Learn Russian's written reviews are positive against 64% of MTL Learn Russian's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Learn Russian ships an update every 4 months, MTL Learn Russian every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
