# 一言 vs 字里行间

The clearest difference is monetization model: 字里行间 at freemium against 一言's subscription. 字里行间 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). 一言's advantage is ratings volume (117 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 一言 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and 字里行间 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

字里行间 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 一言 has 117 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of 一言's written reviews are positive against 100% of 字里行间's.

一言 ships an update every 6 weeks, 字里行间 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
