# 汉字书写练习 vs WriteChinese

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 汉字书写练习 at 100% against WriteChinese's 25%. 汉字书写练习 also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). WriteChinese's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 汉字书写练习 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and WriteChinese sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WriteChinese holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WriteChinese has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 汉字书写练习's written reviews are positive against 25% of WriteChinese's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

汉字书写练习 ships an update every 5 months, WriteChinese every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
