# 百度 vs Chinese Stoke

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chinese Stoke at 100% against 百度's 43%. Chinese Stoke also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). 百度's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 22) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 百度 sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Chinese Stoke sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chinese Stoke holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 百度 has 31K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of 百度's written reviews are positive against 100% of Chinese Stoke's.

百度 ships an update weekly, Chinese Stoke every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
