Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: พุทธวจน at 100% against Ling's 61%. พุทธวจน also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 22) and ads (none vs shown). Ling's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (17K vs 10). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ling sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. พุทธวจน asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ling holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ling has 17K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of พุทธวจน's written reviews are positive against 61% of Ling's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

พุทธวจน ships an update every 4 months, Ling weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
