# Coco vs Write Chinese

The clearest difference is ads: Write Chinese at none against Coco's shown. Coco's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Coco sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Write Chinese sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Coco ships an update fortnightly, Write Chinese monthly. Both last shipped on October 11, 2026.
