# 1号会员店 vs 当当

The clearest difference is rating: 当当 at 3.7 against 1号会员店's 2.3. 1号会员店's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (59% vs 41%). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 当当 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. 1号会员店 asks for nothing beyond the download.

当当 holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 1号会员店 has 56 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of 1号会员店's written reviews are positive against 41% of 当当's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

1号会员店 ships an update fortnightly, 当当 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
