Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: InterSign at free against Lingvano's freemium. InterSign also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 65%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Lingvano's advantage is ratings volume (116K vs 173) and chart position (#22 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Lingvano sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month and InterSign sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Lingvano against 4.8 for InterSign. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lingvano has 116K ratings behind it against 173, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of Lingvano's written reviews are positive against 89% of InterSign's.
Lingvano ships an update fortnightly, InterSign every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
