# 快阅 vs 红豆小说

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 红豆小说 at none against 快阅's 1. 红豆小说 also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). 快阅's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 快阅 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 红豆小说 asks for nothing beyond the download.

红豆小说 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 快阅 has 24 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of 快阅's written reviews are positive against 67% of 红豆小说's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

快阅 ships an update every 2 weeks, 红豆小说 monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
