# 新编日语（1～4） vs 标日笔记・初级

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 标日笔记・初级 at 100% against 新编日语（1～4）'s 25%. 标日笔记・初级 also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 2). 新编日语（1～4）'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 新编日语（1～4） sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and 标日笔记・初级 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

新编日语（1～4） holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 标日笔记・初级 has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of 新编日语（1～4）'s written reviews are positive against 100% of 标日笔记・初级's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

新编日语（1～4） ships an update weekly, 标日笔记・初级 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
