# 小猿AI vs 英语宝

The clearest difference is rating: 小猿AI at 4.6 against 英语宝's 3.7. 小猿AI also leads on ratings volume (4.3K vs 7) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). 英语宝's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 68%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 小猿AI sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and 英语宝 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

小猿AI holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 小猿AI has 4.3K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of 小猿AI's written reviews are positive against 100% of 英语宝's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

小猿AI ships an update weekly, 英语宝 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
