# 百度 vs 小熊录音

The clearest difference is rating: 小熊录音 at 5.0 against 百度's 4.5. 小熊录音 also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). 百度's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 百度 sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and 小熊录音 sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

小熊录音 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 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

百度 ships an update weekly, 小熊录音 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
