# Superfluent vs TONGUES

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Superfluent at 3K against TONGUES's 5. Superfluent also leads on chart position (#114 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Superfluent sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month and TONGUES sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Superfluent against 4.8 for TONGUES. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superfluent has 3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 94% of Superfluent's written reviews are positive against 100% of TONGUES's.

Superfluent ships an update every 5 days, TONGUES every 3 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
