# Lingopie vs Flashcard Blocker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flashcard Blocker at 100% against Lingopie's 38%. Flashcard Blocker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and ads (none vs shown). Lingopie's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). 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 Flashcard Blocker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flashcard Blocker 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 4, 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 100% of Flashcard Blocker's.

Lingopie ships an update fortnightly, Flashcard Blocker weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
