Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Mango Languages at 44K against Talkmate's 55. Mango Languages also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Talkmate's advantage is review sentiment (93% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mango Languages sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month and Talkmate sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mango Languages holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mango Languages has 44K ratings behind it against 55, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Mango Languages's written reviews are positive against 93% of Talkmate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mango Languages ships an update fortnightly, Talkmate every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and July 28, 2026 respectively.
