Talk with the world in your own language. ArirangX is where people meet over Korean culture — make friends worldwide, video call with live translated captions, and chat without a language barrier. NEW: JUST SAY IT In a 1:1 chat, tap the mic and talk. ArirangX writes down what you say and sends it with a translation, so your friend reads it in their own language. WHY PEOPLE LOVE ARIRANGX • Live translated captions on 1:1 video calls — speak naturally and read what they say in your language • Chats that translate themselves — you write in yours, they read in theirs • Voice input that turns what you say into a translated message • Meet people who share your interests — K-pop, K-dramas, webtoons, travel, food and more • Madang: share posts, photos and videos up to 5 minutes, reply to each other, and find your people • Send gifts, from a coffee to a rocket — gifts you receive turn into call time • Free beauty filters on every video call • Save the photos and videos friends send you straight to your Photos • Private by design — no cross-app tracking, and we never sell your data LANGUAGE IS NEVER A BARRIER Speech recognition works in 60 languages, and chat messages translate into more than 100. On a video call, ArirangX listens and shows live captions of what the other person says, already in your language. Photos, videos, voice messages and your location can go along too. MEET THE WORLD Find people who love what you love, and practice the language you're curious about with a real person. Browse People, follow someone on Madang, say hello in chat, and start a video call when you're ready. GIFTS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Say it with a gift. Send coffee, roses, a gift box, a crown or a rocket during a call or in chat. It's a playful way to show appreciation — and every gift you receive becomes free translated call time. WHY THE NAME ARIRANGX Arirang is Korea's most beloved folk song — about crossing every hill together, however far the road. We named the app after it to keep hearts connected across any distance or language. ARIRANGX VIP Go unlimited with a VIP subscription: unlimited real-time translation and unlimited video calls with no daily limits, plus a VIP badge that stands out on your profile and in calls. • "Unlimited" means no daily caps in normal use. A fair-use ceiling still applies; it varies by region and is shown in the app. • Monthly and annual auto-renewable subscriptions are available; prices are shown in the app and may vary by region. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. • Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel anytime in your device Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. SAFETY & RESPECT ArirangX has in-app reporting, blocking, and active moderation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Discourse Passport at none against ArirangX's 8. Discourse Passport also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). ArirangX's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
