# 有书 vs 听书助手

The clearest difference is rating: 听书助手 at 4.5 against 有书's 3.0. 有书's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 有书 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and 听书助手 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

听书助手 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 10 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of 有书's written reviews are positive against 81% of 听书助手's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
