Verdict
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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Learn Russian sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and MTL Learn Russian sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
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.
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.
