That is an important insight. It is not so much which method gets you to learn more when used for a given amount of time. It is probably more about which method is fun to use, and engages you and thus actually gets used.

Can't help but repeat this old joke: A guy bought a gym-membership for 6 months, and paid $1000. But he was lazy (like most of us are) and never went or very rarely went to the gym, never felt like going there. After 6 months he realized he had wasted $1000. So he thought maybe if he bought the equipment himself he could and would do exercise at home. He bought the equipment for $1000, but then he rarelywent home. Didn't feel like it :-)

I've tried several different language learning apps, and the one I stick with is always the one with the best gamification even if it's not the #1 for things like explanation quality. It's all about what you'll actually do.

Yeah, you hear this a lot on Fitness YouTube -- the best workout is the one you actually do. With language, it's all about practice -- the best study method is the one you actually do.
