# 与你 vs Seagull IM

The clearest difference is rating: 与你 at 4.5 against Seagull IM's 3.6. 与你 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (425 vs 46). Seagull IM's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 46%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 与你 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Seagull IM sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

与你 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 与你 has 425 ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of 与你's written reviews are positive against 87% of Seagull IM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

与你 ships an update every 3 weeks, Seagull IM every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
