Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 百度 at 4.5 against 灵光's 3.9. 百度 also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 76) and device support (4 vs 2). 灵光's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

百度 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 百度 has 31K ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of 百度's written reviews are positive against 78% of 灵光's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

百度 ships an update weekly, 灵光 every 9 days. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
