# Art Tools vs Lingopie

The clearest difference is price: Lingopie at Free against Art Tools's $2.99. Lingopie also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). Art Tools's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (65% vs 38%). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Lingopie is free to download; Art Tools costs $2.99 up front. Art Tools sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Lingopie sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lingopie holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lingopie has 2.2K ratings behind it against 253, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Art Tools's written reviews are positive against 38% of Lingopie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Art Tools ships an update every 8 months, Lingopie fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
