# Ling vs Kapi

The clearest difference is ads: Kapi at none against Ling's shown. Kapi also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Ling's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ling sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Kapi sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kapi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ling has 16K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Ling ships an update weekly, Kapi every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
