# 荔枝 vs 麦可

The clearest difference is rating: 荔枝 at 4.3 against 麦可's 3.6. 荔枝 also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 26%) and ratings volume (888 vs 9). 麦可's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 荔枝 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 麦可 sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

荔枝 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 荔枝 has 888 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of 荔枝's written reviews are positive against 26% of 麦可's.

荔枝 ships an update every 3 weeks, 麦可 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
