# 灵光 vs WorkBuddy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 灵光 at 78% against WorkBuddy's 36%. 灵光 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (77 vs 15). WorkBuddy's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and chart position (#204 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WorkBuddy sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. 灵光 asks for nothing beyond the download.

WorkBuddy holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 灵光 has 77 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of 灵光's written reviews are positive against 36% of WorkBuddy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

灵光 ships an update every 10 days, WorkBuddy weekly. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
