Verbase vs Ella Verbs vs ConjuGato vs SpanishDict
Four ways to learn Spanish conjugation, side by side. We make Verbase, so the table sticks to facts you can check in the stores.
These four apps solve the same problem differently: Ella Verbs teaches a course, ConjuGato drills flashcards, SpanishDict is a dictionary with a conjugator, Verbase plays games across every tense. Which one fits depends on how you learn and what you already know.
Every number below comes from the App Store listing or the official site of each app, linked at the bottom. Where a listing does not say, the cell says so.
