Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Lingomigo at none against Drops's shown. Lingomigo also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Drops's advantage is ratings volume (72K vs 4) and chart position (#156 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drops sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Lingomigo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lingomigo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Drops's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lingomigo's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Drops ships an update weekly, Lingomigo every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
