Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Speakingo at none against Lingard's shown. Speakingo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Lingard's advantage is ratings volume (838 vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Speakingo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Lingard sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Speakingo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lingard has 838 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Speakingo's written reviews are positive against 65% of Lingard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Speakingo ships an update monthly, Lingard every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
