# 百度 vs 古籍阅读器

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 百度 at 43% against 古籍阅读器's 0%. 百度 also leads on rating (4.5 vs 1.0) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). 古籍阅读器's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 百度 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and 古籍阅读器 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
