# Anime vs 醒绘

The clearest difference is update cadence: 醒绘 at every 10 days against Anime's every 5 weeks. Anime's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anime sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and 醒绘 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Anime against 4.5 for 醒绘. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 2 respectively.

Anime ships an update every 5 weeks, 醒绘 every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
