# Language Reactor vs Speakingo

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Language Reactor at 3.7K against Speakingo's 2. Speakingo's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Language Reactor sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and Speakingo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Speakingo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Language Reactor has 3.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Language Reactor's written reviews are positive against 63% of Speakingo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Language Reactor ships an update every 3 weeks, Speakingo monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
