# HongMall vs GM团购

The clearest difference is ratings volume: HongMall at 17K against GM团购's 4. GM团购's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for HongMall against 5.0 for GM团购. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HongMall has 17K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
