Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EngTalk at 100% against LingoQ's 54%. EngTalk also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). LingoQ's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (64 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
