Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 机核 at 4.8 against 来福's 3.8. 机核 also leads on ratings volume (318 vs 10). 来福's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 18) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

机核 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 机核 has 318 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of 机核's written reviews are positive against 76% of 来福's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

机核 ships an update weekly, 来福 every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
