# Fluency vs Carpi

The clearest difference is rating: Fluency at 5.0 against Carpi's 4.5. Fluency also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (32 vs 2). Carpi's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fluency sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Carpi sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fluency holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fluency has 32 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Fluency ships an update weekly, Carpi every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
