# 日语发音 vs Danci

The clearest difference is update cadence: Danci at every 4 days against 日语发音's every 5 weeks. Danci also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (freemium vs paid). 日语发音's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 日语发音 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Danci sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Danci holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 日语发音 has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

日语发音 ships an update every 5 weeks, Danci every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
