# EWA vs LingoLooper

The clearest difference is ratings volume: EWA at 196K against LingoLooper's 1.1K. EWA also leads on chart position (#128 vs unranked) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). LingoLooper's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EWA sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and LingoLooper sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 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 4.8 for LingoLooper. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EWA has 196K ratings behind it against 1.1K, 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 79% of LingoLooper's.

EWA ships an update weekly, LingoLooper fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
