Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Ling at Free against LingoThai's $1.99. Ling also leads on chart position (#64 vs unranked). LingoThai's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
