# 联通爱听 vs 息壤阅读

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 联通爱听 at 100% against 息壤阅读's 71%. 联通爱听 also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). 息壤阅读's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 联通爱听 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and 息壤阅读 sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

息壤阅读 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 联通爱听's written reviews are positive against 71% of 息壤阅读's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

联通爱听 ships an update every 2 months, 息壤阅读 weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
