# 岛 vs 抖小圈

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 抖小圈 at 100% against 岛's 50%. 抖小圈 also leads on device support (4 vs 2). 岛's advantage is rating (3.5 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (14 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 岛 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 3 months and 抖小圈 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

岛 holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of 岛's written reviews are positive against 100% of 抖小圈's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

岛 ships an update every 3 weeks, 抖小圈 monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
