# Langua vs Snapalabra!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Snapalabra! at 100% against Langua's 57%. Snapalabra! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Langua's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Langua sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Snapalabra! sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Langua holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Langua has 2.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Langua's written reviews are positive against 100% of Snapalabra!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Langua ships an update every 3 weeks, Snapalabra! every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
