Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 慕课网 at 311 against w3cschool's 2. 慕课网 also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 64%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). w3cschool's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. 慕课网 sells 28 one-off in-app purchases and w3cschool sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

w3cschool holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 慕课网 has 311 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of 慕课网's written reviews are positive against 64% of w3cschool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

慕课网 ships an update every 3 weeks, w3cschool every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
