Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Manglish at 4.5 against Easy Malayalam's 3.3. Manglish also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 7) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). Easy Malayalam's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Manglish holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manglish has 1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Easy Malayalam's written reviews are positive against 54% of Manglish's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Easy Malayalam ships an update every 9 months, Manglish every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
