Inner is a social app with high-quality content as its core. Inner has two meanings. Inn is the inn. It means a pub on the street. Different from a grand hotel, it is more like a short-term foothold in the journey. As an adjective, inner means "hidden in the heart, not expressed". We hope that this product of inner can be like the short-term foothold of many people on their journey. We will gather around the bar, talk about his creation story with strangers, hang his works on the wall of the pub, and share the beauty of his creation to everyone who comes here. We think that everyone who has a story can become a creator, regardless of whether he is skilled in his techniques, whether his works are good or not, whether he caters to the mainstream, and Every creator should have his own space. Creators ·Create and share new works and set up album. ·It's easier to find supporters who like you. ·Certification to become an excellent creator, release exclusive content back to supporters. Supporter ·Keep up-to-date with the creators you support. ·Discover and tap more excellent creators. ·Enjoy the exclusive content released by the creator. ·No burden of communication, minimal social experience.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 简书 at 4.6 against inner's 4.0. 简书 also leads on review sentiment (49% vs 29%) and ratings volume (778 vs 21). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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
Both are free to download. 简书 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and inner sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
简书 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 简书 has 778 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of 简书's written reviews are positive against 29% of inner's.
简书 ships an update monthly, inner every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
