# Pango vs Language Islands

Pango and Language Islands both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Language Islands's written reviews are positive against 33% of Pango's. Pango's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pango sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Language Islands sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 — 4.0 for Pango against 4.0 for Language Islands. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pango has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
