# Lingory vs Daily Hangul

The clearest difference is rating: Daily Hangul at 4.7 against Lingory's 4.0. Daily Hangul also leads on ratings volume (505 vs 107). Lingory's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 26%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lingory sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Daily Hangul sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Daily Hangul holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 107 and 505 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Lingory's written reviews are positive against 26% of Daily Hangul's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lingory ships an update fortnightly, Daily Hangul weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
