# 七猫小说 vs 潇湘书院Pro

The clearest difference is rating: 七猫小说 at 4.6 against 潇湘书院Pro's 3.1. 七猫小说 also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 37%) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 13). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 七猫小说 sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 潇湘书院Pro sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

七猫小说 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 七猫小说 has 3.5K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of 七猫小说's written reviews are positive against 37% of 潇湘书院Pro's.
