Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Learn Tagalog Fast! at none against Ling's shown. Learn Tagalog Fast! also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 61%). Ling's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 142) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
