Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TEFL at 100% against Lingopie's 38%. TEFL also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and ads (none vs shown). Lingopie's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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. TEFL sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Lingopie sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TEFL holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lingopie has 2.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of TEFL's written reviews are positive against 38% of Lingopie's.
TEFL ships an update every 6 weeks, Lingopie every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
