# SkyDict vs Lingo

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SkyDict at none against Lingo's 1. SkyDict also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (35 vs 6). Lingo's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lingo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. SkyDict asks for nothing beyond the download.

SkyDict holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SkyDict has 35 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of SkyDict's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lingo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
