# php vs 狮运

The clearest difference is rating: php at 4.8 against 狮运's 3.3. php also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 4) and device support (4 vs 2). 狮运's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On ads there is nothing between them.

php holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: php has 43 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

php ships an update every 7 months, 狮运 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
