# 生词本 vs List生词本

The clearest difference is price: 生词本 at Free against List生词本's $0.99. 生词本 also leads on ratings volume (114 vs 13). List生词本's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On rating, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

生词本 is free to download; List生词本 costs $0.99 up front. 生词本 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and List生词本 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for 生词本 against 4.8 for List生词本. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 生词本 has 114 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of 生词本's written reviews are positive against 92% of List生词本's.

生词本 ships an update fortnightly, List生词本 every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
