# 4D书城 vs EnglishPlanet

The clearest difference is rating: EnglishPlanet at 4.2 against 4D书城's 3.7. 4D书城's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 4D书城 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and EnglishPlanet sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EnglishPlanet holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of 4D书城's written reviews are positive against 50% of EnglishPlanet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

4D书城 ships an update every 4 weeks, EnglishPlanet fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
