# QQ vs 库百汇

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 库百汇 at none against QQ's 12. 库百汇 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). QQ's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#95 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QQ sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. 库百汇 asks for nothing beyond the download.

QQ ships an update every 2 weeks, 库百汇 every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
