# 猫眼专业版 vs iPanda

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 猫眼专业版 at 946 against iPanda's 5. 猫眼专业版 also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). iPanda's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

iPanda holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 猫眼专业版 has 946 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of 猫眼专业版's written reviews are positive against 75% of iPanda's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

猫眼专业版 ships an update every 4 weeks, iPanda every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
