# 百度 vs 百度输入法

The clearest difference is ads: 百度输入法 at none against 百度's shown. 百度输入法 also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 43%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 百度's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 1.6K). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 百度 sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and 百度输入法 sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for 百度 against 4.4 for 百度输入法. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 百度 has 31K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of 百度's written reviews are positive against 59% of 百度输入法's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
