# 马蜂窝 vs VoyaGO

The clearest difference is ads: VoyaGO at none against 马蜂窝's shown. VoyaGO also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (96% vs 79%). 马蜂窝's advantage is ratings volume (7.5K vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 马蜂窝 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and VoyaGO sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VoyaGO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 马蜂窝 has 7.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of 马蜂窝's written reviews are positive against 96% of VoyaGO's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
