Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Laifen holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Laifen has 78 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Laifen's written reviews are positive against 40% of SilkPass's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Laifen ships an update every 3 weeks, SilkPass every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
