# SuperChinese vs LangPanda

The clearest difference is ratings volume: SuperChinese at 3.9K against LangPanda's 1. LangPanda's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SuperChinese sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $8.49 per month and LangPanda sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for SuperChinese against 5.0 for LangPanda. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SuperChinese has 3.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 94% of SuperChinese's written reviews are positive against 100% of LangPanda's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
