# Steam Mobile vs 小黑盒

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 小黑盒 at 76% against Steam Mobile's 24%. 小黑盒 also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Steam Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 1.4K) and chart position (#41 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

小黑盒 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steam Mobile has 13K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of Steam Mobile's written reviews are positive against 76% of 小黑盒's.

Steam Mobile ships an update every 6 weeks, 小黑盒 fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
