Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LIHKG 討論區 at none against nPTT's 2. LIHKG 討論區 also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 41%). nPTT's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, rating, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. nPTT sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. LIHKG 討論區 asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

nPTT holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 86 and 119 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of LIHKG 討論區's written reviews are positive against 41% of nPTT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LIHKG 討論區 ships an update monthly, nPTT every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
