# 17K小说 vs 宜搜小说

The clearest difference is rating: 宜搜小说 at 4.6 against 17K小说's 3.4. 宜搜小说 also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 60%) and ratings volume (266 vs 22). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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 宜搜小说 sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

宜搜小说 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 宜搜小说 has 266 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two.
