# Lingopie vs LingoDiary

The clearest difference is rating: LingoDiary at 5.0 against Lingopie's 4.4. LingoDiary also leads on ads (none vs shown). Lingopie's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). 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 LingoDiary sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LingoDiary 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Lingopie ships an update fortnightly, LingoDiary monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
