Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Learn Languages at none against Ling's shown. Learn Languages also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 61%). Ling's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#54 vs unranked). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
