# WinkNotes vs 氢刻

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 氢刻 at 100% against WinkNotes's 78%. 氢刻 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.0). WinkNotes's advantage is ratings volume (128 vs 5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WinkNotes sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and 氢刻 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

氢刻 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WinkNotes has 128 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of WinkNotes's written reviews are positive against 100% of 氢刻's.

WinkNotes ships an update weekly, 氢刻 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
