Verdict
FT中文网 and 21财经 both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 94% of 21财经's written reviews are positive against 44% of FT中文网's. 21财经 also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). FT中文网's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases 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
Both are free to download. FT中文网 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and 21财经 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for FT中文网 against 4.7 for 21财经. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FT中文网 has 1.6K ratings behind it against 259, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of FT中文网's written reviews are positive against 94% of 21财经's.
FT中文网 ships an update every 8 days, 21财经 monthly. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
