Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UrduLingo at none against Ling's 22. UrduLingo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Ling's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 2) and chart position (#70 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
