# Lingopie vs Dreaming

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dreaming at 88% against Lingopie's 38%. Dreaming also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Lingopie's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 208). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lingopie sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Dreaming sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dreaming holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lingopie has 2.2K ratings behind it against 208, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Lingopie's written reviews are positive against 88% of Dreaming's.

Lingopie ships an update fortnightly, Dreaming every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
