# 听书助手 vs 静静听书

The clearest difference is rating: 静静听书 at 5.0 against 听书助手's 4.5. 静静听书 also leads on ads (none vs shown). 听书助手's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and review sentiment (81% vs 71%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 听书助手 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and 静静听书 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

静静听书 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 听书助手 has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of 听书助手's written reviews are positive against 71% of 静静听书's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

听书助手 ships an update fortnightly, 静静听书 every 11 days. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
