# 暗礁笔记 vs VisionBrowser

The clearest difference is rating: 暗礁笔记 at 5.0 against VisionBrowser's 4.4. 暗礁笔记 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). VisionBrowser's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (80% vs 56%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VisionBrowser sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. 暗礁笔记 asks for nothing beyond the download.

暗礁笔记 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VisionBrowser has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of 暗礁笔记's written reviews are positive against 80% of VisionBrowser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

暗礁笔记 ships an update every 2 months, VisionBrowser every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
