# 百度 vs 财乎

The clearest difference is rating: 财乎 at 5.0 against 百度's 4.5. 财乎 also leads on ads (none vs shown). 百度's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 百度 sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and 财乎 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

财乎 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 百度 has 31K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

百度 ships an update weekly, 财乎 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
