Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 宝宝巴士汉字 at 94% against 洪恩英语's 61%. 宝宝巴士汉字 also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 洪恩英语's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (400 vs 59). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. 宝宝巴士汉字 sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and 洪恩英语 sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

洪恩英语 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 洪恩英语 has 400 ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of 宝宝巴士汉字's written reviews are positive against 61% of 洪恩英语's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

宝宝巴士汉字 ships an update every 11 days, 洪恩英语 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
