# 剪影 vs Blink

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 剪影 at 2.5K against Blink's 1. 剪影 also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). Blink's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (67% vs 55%). 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 Blink sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Blink holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 剪影 has 2.5K ratings behind it against 1, 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 67% of Blink's.

剪影 ships an update every 4 days, Blink every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 14, 2026 respectively.
