# 百度 vs 轻诉

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 轻诉 at 100% against 百度's 43%. 轻诉 also leads on ads (none vs shown). 百度's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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 轻诉 sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

百度 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 百度 has 31K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of 百度's written reviews are positive against 100% of 轻诉's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

百度 ships an update weekly, 轻诉 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
