# 盯潮 vs 探火

The clearest difference is rating: 盯潮 at 3.7 against 探火's 3.0. 盯潮 also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (28 vs 6). 探火's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (95% vs 63%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 盯潮 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and 探火 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

盯潮 holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 28 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of 盯潮's written reviews are positive against 95% of 探火's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

盯潮 ships an update every 2 weeks, 探火 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
