Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 全本小说 at 4.6 against 纵横小说's 2.8. 全本小说 also leads on ratings volume (581 vs 62). 纵横小说's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (62% vs 48%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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. 纵横小说 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and 全本小说 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

全本小说 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 全本小说 has 581 ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of 纵横小说's written reviews are positive against 48% of 全本小说's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

纵横小说 ships an update fortnightly, 全本小说 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
