Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Mondly at 33K against Speekoo's 614. Mondly also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and chart position (#183 vs unranked). Speekoo's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 74%) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
