Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Farsify at none against Ling's shown. Ling's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Ling against 4.5 for Farsify. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ling has 16K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ling ships an update weekly, Farsify every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
