Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MotsActu at none against LingoLooper's 6. MotsActu also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). LingoLooper's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and chart position (#195 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
