Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Linglo at none against Amikumu's shown. Linglo also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). Amikumu's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
