Both are free to download. StepFun sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and 语鲸 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
语鲸 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 语鲸 has 50 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.

StepFun ships an update every 9 days, 语鲸 weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
