# 脉脉 vs 化学加

The clearest difference is rating: 化学加 at 5.0 against 脉脉's 3.5. 化学加 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 41%). 脉脉's advantage is ratings volume (411 vs 1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 脉脉 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.49 per month and 化学加 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

化学加 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 脉脉 has 411 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 41% of 脉脉's written reviews are positive against 50% of 化学加's.

脉脉 ships an update every 9 days, 化学加 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
