# WakeUp课程表 vs ZiNote

The clearest difference is rating: ZiNote at 5.0 against WakeUp课程表's 1.8. ZiNote also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). WakeUp课程表's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (39 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WakeUp课程表 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and ZiNote sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ZiNote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WakeUp课程表 has 39 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WakeUp课程表 ships an update every 2 weeks, ZiNote every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
