# 纵横小说 vs 基础泰语1

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 纵横小说 at 66% against 基础泰语1's 22%. 纵横小说 also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (60 vs 2). 基础泰语1's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (3.0 vs 2.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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 基础泰语1 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

基础泰语1 holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 纵横小说 has 60 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of 纵横小说's written reviews are positive against 22% of 基础泰语1's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

纵横小说 ships an update fortnightly, 基础泰语1 every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
