# Langua vs HyperLingua

The clearest difference is ads: HyperLingua at none against Langua's shown. HyperLingua also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (83% vs 58%). Langua's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 114) and chart position (#132 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Langua sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and HyperLingua sells 4 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 — 4.6 for Langua against 4.6 for HyperLingua. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Langua has 2.6K ratings behind it against 114, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 58% of Langua's written reviews are positive against 83% of HyperLingua's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
