# 乐动力 vs Joyrun

The clearest difference is rating: Joyrun at 4.8 against 乐动力's 4.3. Joyrun also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 58). 乐动力's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and review sentiment (85% vs 65%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Joyrun sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 乐动力 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Joyrun holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Joyrun has 1.5K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of 乐动力's written reviews are positive against 65% of Joyrun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
