# Linga vs Lella

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Linga at 198 against Lella's 2. Linga also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Linga sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Lella sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 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 Linga against 5.0 for Lella. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linga has 198 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Linga ships an update every 2 weeks, Lella every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
