# Hive vs 建筑学长

The clearest difference is update cadence: Hive at every 4 days against 建筑学长's monthly. Hive also leads on ratings volume (37 vs 4). 建筑学长's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 79%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hive sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and 建筑学长 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hive has 37 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
