# Mondly vs Migaku

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Mondly at 33K against Migaku's 360. Mondly also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and chart position (#172 vs unranked). Migaku's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mondly sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Migaku sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $14.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mondly holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mondly has 33K ratings behind it against 360, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Mondly's written reviews are positive against 73% of Migaku's.

Mondly ships an update fortnightly, Migaku weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
