Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Classical Chinese sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Ilmy sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ilmy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ilmy has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Classical Chinese's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ilmy's.
