Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 正阅 at 5.0 against Folo's 4.1. 正阅 also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). Folo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (63 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Folo sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and 正阅 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

正阅 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Folo has 63 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
