Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Learn Bicol at none against Ling's 10. Learn Bicol also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Ling's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ling sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. Learn Bicol asks for nothing beyond the download.
Learn Bicol holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ling has 17K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Ling ships an update weekly, Learn Bicol every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
