Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PenTest+ Prep at none against Ling's shown. PenTest+ Prep also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). Ling's advantage is chart position (#59 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases 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 and PenTest+ Prep sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ling ships an update weekly, PenTest+ Prep every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
