# Lingopie vs Violingo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Violingo at 100% against Lingopie's 38%. Violingo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and ads (none vs shown). Lingopie's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 1). 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 Violingo sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Violingo 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. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Lingopie's written reviews are positive against 100% of Violingo's.

Lingopie ships an update fortnightly, Violingo weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
