Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 知乎 at 4.5 against CCtalk's 2.8. 知乎 also leads on ratings volume (26K vs 115) and chart position (#123 vs unranked). CCtalk's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 16%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. 知乎 sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and CCtalk sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

知乎 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 知乎 has 26K ratings behind it against 115, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of 知乎's written reviews are positive against 48% of CCtalk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

知乎 ships an update weekly, CCtalk every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
