# Lingora vs LingoCrush

The clearest difference is ads: Lingora at none against LingoCrush's shown. Lingora also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (49 vs 2). LingoCrush's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lingora sells 40 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and LingoCrush sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LingoCrush 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 2, 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 LingoCrush's.

Lingora ships an update every 8 days, LingoCrush every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
