# 百词斩 vs BufferMind

The clearest difference is ads: BufferMind at none against 百词斩's shown. BufferMind also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). 百词斩's advantage is ratings volume (9.1K vs 9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 百词斩 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and BufferMind sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BufferMind holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 百词斩 has 9.1K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of 百词斩's written reviews are positive against 100% of BufferMind's.

百词斩 ships an update fortnightly, BufferMind every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
