# 手机写小说 vs 书耽

The clearest difference is rating: 书耽 at 4.6 against 手机写小说's 4.3. 书耽 also leads on ratings volume (89 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 手机写小说 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 书耽 sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

书耽 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 书耽 has 89 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of 手机写小说's written reviews are positive against 76% of 书耽's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
