# Lingora vs Coupling

The clearest difference is rating: Coupling at 5.0 against Lingora's 4.6. Coupling also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%). Lingora's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (49 vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lingora sells 40 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Coupling sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Coupling holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lingora has 49 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Lingora's written reviews are positive against 100% of Coupling's.

Lingora ships an update every 8 days, Coupling every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
