# Mondly vs EWA

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.

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.
