# Lingvist vs LazyLanguages

The clearest difference is rating: Lingvist at 4.6 against LazyLanguages's 3.7. Lingvist also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 10). LazyLanguages's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 59%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lingvist sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and LazyLanguages sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lingvist holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lingvist has 3.7K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Lingvist's written reviews are positive against 78% of LazyLanguages's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lingvist ships an update monthly, LazyLanguages every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
