Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Earthlingo at free with in-app purchases against LingoDeer Plus's subscription. LingoDeer Plus's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 66). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
