# iHuman Chinese vs 适趣AI中文

The clearest difference is rating: iHuman Chinese at 4.8 against 适趣AI中文's 3.7. iHuman Chinese also leads on ratings volume (5.7K vs 41). 适趣AI中文's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (78% 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 适趣AI中文 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iHuman Chinese holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iHuman Chinese has 5.7K ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of iHuman Chinese's written reviews are positive against 78% of 适趣AI中文's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iHuman Chinese ships an update fortnightly, 适趣AI中文 weekly. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
