# 知乎 vs KOOK语音

The clearest difference is rating: 知乎 at 4.5 against KOOK语音's 3.7. 知乎 also leads on ratings volume (26K vs 538) and chart position (#132 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 知乎 sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and KOOK语音 sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

知乎 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 知乎 has 26K ratings behind it against 538, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of 知乎's written reviews are positive against 24% of KOOK语音's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

知乎 ships an update weekly, KOOK语音 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
