Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Encore at 100% against Songlingo's 43%. Songlingo's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.5) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Songlingo holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Encore's written reviews are positive against 43% of Songlingo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Encore ships an update monthly, Songlingo every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on August 30, 2026 and July 19, 2026 respectively.
