# 起点集 vs Awareness

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Awareness at 100% against 起点集's 33%. Awareness also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and ads (none vs shown). 起点集's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 起点集 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Awareness sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Awareness holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 24 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of 起点集's written reviews are positive against 100% of Awareness's.

起点集 ships an update fortnightly, Awareness every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
