# 微光 vs SynchFun

The clearest difference is ads: 微光 at none against SynchFun's shown. 微光 also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (362 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 微光 sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and SynchFun sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.0 for 微光 against 4.0 for SynchFun. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 微光 has 362 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

微光 ships an update weekly, SynchFun every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
