Bloom also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). Lingopie's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 6). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lingopie sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Bloom asks for nothing beyond the download.
