# QQ vs 算爱社

The clearest difference is rating: 算爱社 at 4.7 against QQ's 2.7. 算爱社 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). QQ's advantage is ratings volume (9K vs 9) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QQ sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and 算爱社 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

算爱社 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QQ has 9K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

QQ ships an update every 2 weeks, 算爱社 monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
