Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Blitz at every 4 days against LingoDeer Plus's monthly. Blitz also leads on monetization model (paid vs subscription) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). LingoDeer Plus's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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. LingoDeer Plus sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Blitz sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for LingoDeer Plus against 5.0 for Blitz. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LingoDeer Plus has 3.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of LingoDeer Plus's written reviews are positive against 100% of Blitz's.
LingoDeer Plus ships an update monthly, Blitz every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
