# 17K小说 vs 淘小说

The clearest difference is rating: 淘小说 at 4.5 against 17K小说's 3.4. 淘小说 also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 60%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 17K小说 sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and 淘小说 sells 25 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

淘小说 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 53 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of 17K小说's written reviews are positive against 88% of 淘小说's.

17K小说 ships an update every 2 months, 淘小说 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
