# 密码酷96 vs 古文岛

The clearest difference is rating: 古文岛 at 4.7 against 密码酷96's 4.0. 古文岛 also leads on ratings volume (126 vs 5) and device support (4 vs 2). 密码酷96's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 密码酷96 sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and 古文岛 sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

古文岛 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 古文岛 has 126 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 密码酷96's written reviews are positive against 85% of 古文岛's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

密码酷96 ships an update fortnightly, 古文岛 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
