# iHuman Chinese vs 千字斩

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 千字斩 at none against iHuman Chinese's 16. 千字斩 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). iHuman Chinese's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 1) and device support. On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iHuman Chinese sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 千字斩 asks for nothing beyond the download.

千字斩 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iHuman Chinese has 5.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
