# 联通爱听 vs 盐言故事

The clearest difference is rating: 联通爱听 at 4.0 against 盐言故事's 2.3. 联通爱听 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). 盐言故事's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, 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 盐言故事 sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
