# 東網 vs 香港01

The clearest difference is rating: 香港01 at 4.6 against 東網's 3.6. 香港01 also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 20%) and ratings volume (4.8K vs 96). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 東網 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and 香港01 sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.29 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

香港01 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 香港01 has 4.8K ratings behind it against 96, so its average is the more settled of the two.
