# 星承互联 vs APTV

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 星承互联 at none against APTV's 1. 星承互联 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). APTV's advantage is ratings volume (729 vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. APTV sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 星承互联 asks for nothing beyond the download.

星承互联 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: APTV has 729 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

星承互联 ships an update every 2 months, APTV fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
