# LingoDeer vs Pishee

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pishee at free with in-app purchases against LingoDeer's subscription. Pishee also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%). LingoDeer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (28K vs 8). On price, rating, update cadence 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 Pishee sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. 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 LingoDeer against 4.8 for Pishee. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LingoDeer has 28K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of LingoDeer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pishee's.

LingoDeer ships an update every 3 weeks, Pishee every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
