# LazyLanguages vs Lingopie

The clearest difference is rating: Lingopie at 4.4 against LazyLanguages's 3.7. Lingopie also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 10). LazyLanguages's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 38%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LazyLanguages sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month 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.

Lingopie holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lingopie has 2.2K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of LazyLanguages's written reviews are positive against 38% of Lingopie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

LazyLanguages ships an update every 2 weeks, Lingopie fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
