Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Match Lingo Language Learning at 100% against ¡Learn Spanish!'s 68%. Match Lingo Language Learning also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.5). ¡Learn Spanish!'s advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

¡Learn Spanish! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ¡Learn Spanish! has 2.5K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of ¡Learn Spanish!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Match Lingo Language Learning's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

¡Learn Spanish! ships an update every 5 days, Match Lingo Language Learning fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
