# 喜弟 vs 跨友Trans

The clearest difference is rating: 跨友Trans at 5.0 against 喜弟's 4.2. 喜弟's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 67%) and ratings volume (33 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 喜弟 sells 25 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and 跨友Trans sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

跨友Trans holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 喜弟 has 33 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of 喜弟's written reviews are positive against 67% of 跨友Trans's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

喜弟 ships an update fortnightly, 跨友Trans every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
