# EWA vs LANG

The clearest difference is ads: LANG at none against EWA's shown. LANG also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). EWA's advantage is ratings volume (196K vs 12K) and chart position (#109 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EWA sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and LANG sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days. 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 EWA against 4.6 for LANG. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EWA has 196K ratings behind it against 12K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of EWA's written reviews are positive against 72% of LANG's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
