# 百度贴吧 vs rednote

The clearest difference is rating: rednote at 4.9 against 百度贴吧's 3.1. rednote also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (269K vs 5.2K). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 百度贴吧 sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and rednote sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

rednote holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: rednote has 269K ratings behind it against 5.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of 百度贴吧's written reviews are positive against 38% of rednote's.

百度贴吧 ships an update every 11 days, rednote every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
