# 手狼 vs 戏鲸

The clearest difference is rating: 手狼 at 4.2 against 戏鲸's 3.7. 手狼 also leads on ratings volume (73 vs 13) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). 戏鲸's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 手狼 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 戏鲸 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

手狼 holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 手狼 has 73 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of 手狼's written reviews are positive against 57% of 戏鲸's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

手狼 ships an update every 6 weeks, 戏鲸 every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
