Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: 5G看家 at 65% against Joolink's 22%. Joolink's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (358K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Joolink sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and 5G看家 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Joolink holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Joolink has 358K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Joolink's written reviews are positive against 65% of 5G看家's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Joolink ships an update every 2 weeks, 5G看家 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
