# 寒武纪年 vs 飞读小说

The clearest difference is rating: 寒武纪年 at 3.0 against 飞读小说's 2.3. 飞读小说's advantage is ratings volume (4 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 寒武纪年 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 飞读小说 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

寒武纪年 holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of 寒武纪年's written reviews are positive against 91% of 飞读小说's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

寒武纪年 ships an update every 5 weeks, 飞读小说 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
