# LingoLooper vs Mina

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LingoLooper at 80% against Mina's 33%. LingoLooper also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). Mina's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LingoLooper sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Mina sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LingoLooper holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LingoLooper has 1.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of LingoLooper's written reviews are positive against 33% of Mina's.

LingoLooper ships an update fortnightly, Mina every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
