# SiYuan vs 慢专注

The clearest difference is rating: 慢专注 at 5.0 against SiYuan's 3.9. 慢专注 also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). SiYuan's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SiYuan sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and 慢专注 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

慢专注 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SiYuan has 30 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SiYuan ships an update every 9 days, 慢专注 every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
