# Lingocard vs Recall

Lingocard and Recall both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 97% of Lingocard's written reviews are positive against 57% of Recall's. Lingocard also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (107 vs 7). Recall's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lingocard sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Recall sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Lingocard against 5.0 for Recall. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lingocard has 107 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 97% of Lingocard's written reviews are positive against 57% of Recall's.

Lingocard ships an update every 2 months, Recall every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
