Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lingory at 65% against Avocards's 32%. Avocards's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lingory sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Avocards sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Avocards holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 104 and 100 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Lingory's written reviews are positive against 32% of Avocards's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lingory ships an update fortnightly, Avocards every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
