# Chinese vs Thai

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Thai at none against Chinese's 10. Thai also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chinese sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Thai asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Chinese against 5.0 for Thai. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 2 respectively. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Chinese ships an update every 8 months, Thai every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
