# 句读 vs 新周刊

The clearest difference is ads: 新周刊 at none against 句读's shown. 新周刊 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). 句读's advantage is ratings volume (86 vs 5) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 句读 sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and 新周刊 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

新周刊 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 句读 has 86 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of 句读's written reviews are positive against 78% of 新周刊's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

句读 ships an update weekly, 新周刊 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
