# Bark vs 微力同步

The clearest difference is price: Bark at Free against 微力同步's $1.99. Bark also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (98% vs 83%). 微力同步's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
