# FloatText vs 轻抖

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FloatText at 86% against 轻抖's 41%. FloatText also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.8) and ratings volume (332 vs 12). 轻抖's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FloatText sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and 轻抖 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FloatText holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FloatText has 332 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of FloatText's written reviews are positive against 41% of 轻抖's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
