# 纵横小说 vs 追书神器

The clearest difference is rating: 追书神器 at 4.3 against 纵横小说's 2.8. 追书神器 also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 62%) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 62). 纵横小说's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 纵横小说 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and 追书神器 sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

追书神器 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.8.
