# 树洞小酒馆 vs 探穴

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 树洞小酒馆 at 86% against 探穴's 25%. 树洞小酒馆 also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). 探穴's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 树洞小酒馆 sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and 探穴 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

探穴 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 50 and 19 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of 树洞小酒馆's written reviews are positive against 25% of 探穴's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

树洞小酒馆 ships an update every 5 weeks, 探穴 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
