# 新编日语（1～4） vs 日语词典

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 日语词典 at 91% against 新编日语（1～4）'s 25%. 日语词典 also leads on ratings volume (44 vs 2). 新编日语（1～4）'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 26 months). On price, 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 日语词典 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. 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 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 日语词典 has 44 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 91% of 日语词典'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, 日语词典 every 26 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
