# LingoDeer vs Flashcards

The clearest difference is monetization model: Flashcards at free with in-app purchases against LingoDeer's subscription. LingoDeer's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (28K vs 6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LingoDeer sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Flashcards sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LingoDeer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LingoDeer has 28K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 25, 2026 respectively.
