Every judgement names its source. Xinghai Ziping is a working environment for BaZi (Four Pillars) and Zi Wei Dou Shu, built on primary texts rather than on fortune-telling copy. Cast a chart, then read what the classics actually say about it: the book, the chapter and the passage. BAZI · FOUR PILLARS • Four pillars, luck pillars (Da Yun) and annual pillars from a date and time of birth • Chart structure analysis — Officer, Resource, Dominant, Following, Hour Indirect Wealth and more — with the favourable and unfavourable direction set out • Three reading axes: wealth and career, the six relations, health • Year and month readings across the current ten-year luck cycle, each one shown with its reasoning ZI WEI DOU SHU • Twelve palaces with star placements, plus the major and annual limits • A linked view that reads Zi Wei and Ziping BaZi side by side LIU YAO • Cast hexagrams with Na Jia line assignments and month/day markers • A hexagram case library, so a casting can be compared against recorded ones CLASSICS LIBRARY • 102 works and 8,598 chapters, all offline: Yuan Hai Zi Ping, San Ming Tong Hui, Shen Feng Tong Kao, Di Tian Sui, Zi Wei Dou Shu Quan Shu, Zeng Shan Bu Yi, Bu Shi Zheng Zong and many more • Clean original text — no OCR noise, no rewriting • Search across works, chapters and sections CASE LIBRARY • 5,000+ documented BaZi charts and 460+ Liu Yao castings • Filter by pillars, hexagram or birth date, and open any case to set it against the chart on screen • Similar-chart search: take the chart you are reading as a reference and rank the library by similarity LAYOUT • Built for both orientations — portrait for reading, landscape for wide tables and long charts • Rotating keeps your place, your filters and your search LANGUAGES • English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese • Classical quotations stay in the original Chinese. This is a deliberate scholarly rule, stated inside the app — not missing translation HOW THIS APP THINKS • Every judgement rests on a cited classical source; we never present our own reading as ancient text • Health-related notes organise a cultural Five Elements framework. They are not medical advice • Results are for cultural study and enjoyment, not prediction MEMBERSHIP • Some features need a membership: the case libraries, similar-chart search and the member classics • Membership is a one-time purchase for a fixed term (1 year or 5 years). It does not renew automatically and is never charged automatically • Terms and prices are shown in the app and under In-App Purchases • 10 works are free forever, with no purchase needed PRIVACY • All chart calculation runs on your device. We do not collect or upload your personal data Read your chart, in the words of the classics.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 玄小助 at none against Xinghai Ziping's 3. Xinghai Ziping's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
