Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 语鲸 at 4.8 against StepFun's 4.3. 语鲸 also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. StepFun sells 13 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. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of StepFun's written reviews are positive against 80% of 语鲸's.
StepFun ships an update every 9 days, 语鲸 every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
