# StudyChat English vs 千读

The clearest difference is rating: 千读 at 4.5 against StudyChat English's 1.5. 千读 also leads on ratings volume (29 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). StudyChat English's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StudyChat English sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and 千读 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

千读 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 千读 has 29 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of StudyChat English's written reviews are positive against 50% of 千读's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

StudyChat English ships an update every 6 weeks, 千读 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
