# 千千音乐 vs 荔枝

The clearest difference is rating: 荔枝 at 4.3 against 千千音乐's 3.8. 荔枝 also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). 千千音乐's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (64% vs 52%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 千千音乐 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 荔枝 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

荔枝 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 327 and 888 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of 千千音乐's written reviews are positive against 52% of 荔枝's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

千千音乐 ships an update every 2 months, 荔枝 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
