# 爱主题 vs ToolCat

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ToolCat at 100% against 爱主题's 50%. ToolCat also leads on ads (none vs shown). 爱主题's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (19 vs 4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 爱主题 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and ToolCat sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

爱主题 holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 19 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of 爱主题's written reviews are positive against 100% of ToolCat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

爱主题 ships an update every 2 weeks, ToolCat every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
