# 粉笔考研 vs 橙啦

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 橙啦 at 592 against 粉笔考研's 39. 橙啦 also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 粉笔考研 sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and 橙啦 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for 粉笔考研 against 4.8 for 橙啦. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 橙啦 has 592 ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of 粉笔考研's written reviews are positive against 94% of 橙啦's.

粉笔考研 ships an update monthly, 橙啦 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
