# 联通爱听 vs 书旗小说

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 联通爱听 at 100% against 书旗小说's 64%. 联通爱听 also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). 书旗小说's advantage is ratings volume (751 vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 联通爱听 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and 书旗小说 sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

书旗小说 holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 书旗小说 has 751 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 联通爱听's written reviews are positive against 64% of 书旗小说'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, 书旗小说 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
