# 慕课网 vs 中国大学MOOC（慕课）

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 中国大学MOOC（慕课） at 3.4K against 慕课网's 311. 慕课网's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 73%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 慕课网 sells 28 one-off in-app purchases and 中国大学MOOC（慕课） sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for 慕课网 against 4.8 for 中国大学MOOC（慕课）. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 中国大学MOOC（慕课） has 3.4K ratings behind it against 311, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of 慕课网's written reviews are positive against 73% of 中国大学MOOC（慕课）'s.

慕课网 ships an update every 3 weeks, 中国大学MOOC（慕课） fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
