# 大麦 vs 星朋友

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 星朋友 at 100% against 大麦's 9%. 星朋友 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.3). 大麦's advantage is ratings volume (440 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 大麦 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 星朋友 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

星朋友 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 大麦 has 440 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 9% of 大麦's written reviews are positive against 100% of 星朋友's.

大麦 ships an update every 2 weeks, 星朋友 every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
