# 当当云阅读 vs 三联中读

The clearest difference is update cadence: 当当云阅读 at every 2 weeks against 三联中读's every 2 months. 当当云阅读 also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (12 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 当当云阅读 sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and 三联中读 sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

当当云阅读 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 985 and 490 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of 当当云阅读's written reviews are positive against 79% of 三联中读's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

当当云阅读 ships an update every 2 weeks, 三联中读 every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
