# Langua vs LangPanda

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LangPanda at 100% against Langua's 58%. LangPanda also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Langua's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 1). 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 LangPanda sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LangPanda holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Langua has 2.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of Langua's written reviews are positive against 100% of LangPanda's.

Langua ships an update every 3 weeks, LangPanda weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
