# Earth vs 街景精选

The clearest difference is rating: Earth at 4.5 against 街景精选's 2.0. Earth also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). 街景精选's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Earth sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. 街景精选 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Earth holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Earth has 326 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Earth's written reviews are positive against 43% of 街景精选's.

Earth ships an update fortnightly, 街景精选 every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
