# 寒武纪年 vs 布咕阅读国际版

The clearest difference is rating: 布咕阅读国际版 at 4.5 against 寒武纪年's 3.0. 布咕阅读国际版 also leads on ratings volume (42 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). 寒武纪年's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 寒武纪年 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 布咕阅读国际版 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

布咕阅读国际版 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 布咕阅读国际版 has 42 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of 寒武纪年's written reviews are positive against 50% of 布咕阅读国际版'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, 布咕阅读国际版 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
