Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Kalam at 4.7 against Langula's 3.7. Kalam also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6.8K vs 3). Langula's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kalam sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Langula sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Kalam holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kalam has 6.8K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Kalam ships an update every 10 days, Langula every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
