# 剪影 vs Palm Reader

The clearest difference is rating: 剪影 at 4.8 against Palm Reader's 4.0. 剪影 also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 20%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). Palm Reader's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 剪影 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Palm Reader sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

剪影 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 剪影 has 2.6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of 剪影's written reviews are positive against 20% of Palm Reader's.

剪影 ships an update every 5 days, Palm Reader every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
