Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mondly at none against EWA's shown. EWA's advantage is ratings volume (196K vs 33K). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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. Mondly sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and EWA sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Mondly against 4.7 for EWA. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EWA has 196K ratings behind it against 33K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 74% and 75% positive.
Mondly ships an update fortnightly, EWA weekly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
