Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Liuren at 4.6 against 起名's 4.0. Liuren also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). 起名's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (33% vs 25%). On price 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. Liuren sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 起名 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Liuren holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Liuren has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of 起名's written reviews are positive against 25% of Liuren's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
起名 ships an update every 5 months, Liuren every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
