# joygo vs 一起学围棋呀

The clearest difference is ads: 一起学围棋呀 at none against joygo's shown. 一起学围棋呀 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). joygo's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (105 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. joygo sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 一起学围棋呀 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

一起学围棋呀 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: joygo has 105 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of joygo's written reviews are positive against 64% of 一起学围棋呀's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

joygo ships an update monthly, 一起学围棋呀 every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
