# 问小白 vs 茂书

The clearest difference is rating: 茂书 at 5.0 against 问小白's 1.7. 问小白's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 问小白 sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and 茂书 sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

茂书 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 问小白 has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

问小白 ships an update weekly, 茂书 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
