Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: iRime输入法 at 76% against 五笔输入法's 29%. iRime输入法 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). 五笔输入法's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
iRime输入法 costs $0.99 and 五笔输入法 $1.99 up front. iRime输入法 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and 五笔输入法 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
五笔输入法 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iRime输入法 has 153 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of iRime输入法's written reviews are positive against 29% of 五笔输入法's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iRime输入法 ships an update every 3 weeks, 五笔输入法 every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
