# 一言 vs 灵光纸条

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 一言 at 113 against 灵光纸条's 2. 一言 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (88% vs 75%). 灵光纸条's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 一言 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and 灵光纸条 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

一言 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 一言 has 113 ratings behind it against 2, 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 75% of 灵光纸条's.

一言 ships an update every 2 months, 灵光纸条 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
