So we created the platform that gives the very same experience! OUR STORY 7 years ago, my father and I started learning a foreign language online but we soon realized there was something really wrong on the market. We learned several words and phrases but it was impossible to start speaking. Later on, we found a lot of people with the same problem and gave our entrepreneurial mindset, we set out a mission to create the platform that would truly give people a chance of learning a language. AFTER 7 YEARS of creating, testing and refining, HERE WE ARE! AVAILABLE LANGUAGES: · ENGLISH · SPANISH · FRENCH · ITALIAN · RUSSIAN with more than 5 intermediate languages.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Lingwing at none against EWA's shown. Lingwing also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). EWA's advantage is ratings volume (196K vs 114) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EWA sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Lingwing sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
