# QQ vs 百度贴吧

The clearest difference is rating: 百度贴吧 at 3.1 against QQ's 2.7. 百度贴吧 also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). QQ's advantage is chart position (#78 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QQ sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and 百度贴吧 sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
