# 知乎 vs 买买提

知乎 and 买买提 both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of 买买提's written reviews are positive against 16% of 知乎's. 买买提 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 17) and ads (none vs shown). 知乎's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 239) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 知乎 sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 买买提 asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for 知乎 against 4.6 for 买买提. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 知乎 has 26K ratings behind it against 239, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 16% of 知乎's written reviews are positive against 83% of 买买提's.

知乎 ships an update weekly, 买买提 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
