Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Histopia at 5.0 against Lingopie's 4.4. Histopia also leads on ads (none vs shown). Lingopie's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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 and Histopia sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Histopia holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lingopie has 2.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
