# 毎日漢字 vs Cardemy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 毎日漢字 at 80% against Cardemy's 0%. 毎日漢字 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (33 vs 2). Cardemy's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 毎日漢字 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and Cardemy sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

毎日漢字 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 毎日漢字 has 33 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of 毎日漢字's written reviews are positive against 0% of Cardemy's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
