Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iHuman Chinese at 4.8 against E英语宝's 3.3. iHuman Chinese also leads on ratings volume (5.7K vs 22). E英语宝's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (71% vs 58%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iHuman Chinese sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and E英语宝 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iHuman Chinese holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iHuman Chinese has 5.7K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of iHuman Chinese's written reviews are positive against 71% of E英语宝's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
