# 纵横小说 vs 火星女频

The clearest difference is rating: 火星女频 at 5.0 against 纵横小说's 2.8. 火星女频 also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). 纵横小说's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (62 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 纵横小说 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and 火星女频 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

火星女频 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 纵横小说 has 62 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of 纵横小说's written reviews are positive against 68% of 火星女频's.

纵横小说 ships an update fortnightly, 火星女频 every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
