# Lingopie vs WordWake

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WordWake at 100% against Lingopie's 38%. WordWake also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and ads (none vs shown). Lingopie's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 3). 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 WordWake sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WordWake 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 3, 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 WordWake's.

Lingopie ships an update fortnightly, WordWake every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
