# Write Chinese vs 练写字

The clearest difference is update cadence: 练写字 at every 3 weeks against Write Chinese's every 24 months. Write Chinese's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Write Chinese sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 练写字 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Write Chinese ships an update every 24 months, 练写字 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
