# 知乎 vs CCtalk

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 (#129 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.

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.

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.

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