Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lingo7 at 100% against Translation Books's 29%. Lingo7 also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (6 vs 2). Translation Books's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Translation Books sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Lingo7 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Translation Books holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Translation Books's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lingo7's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Translation Books ships an update fortnightly, Lingo7 every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
