Verdict
Lahjah and Lahja both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Lahja's written reviews are positive against 50% of Lahjah's. Lahja also leads on ratings volume (16 vs 3). Lahjah's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). On price, rating, ads and device support 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. Lahja sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Lahjah asks for nothing beyond the download.
Lahjah holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lahja has 16 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Lahjah's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lahja's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lahjah ships an update every 4 days, Lahja every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
