# 简书 vs 学升

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 学升 at none against 简书's 6. 学升 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). 简书's advantage is ratings volume (777 vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 简书 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. 学升 asks for nothing beyond the download.

学升 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 简书 has 777 ratings behind it against 4, 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 67% of 学升's.

简书 ships an update monthly, 学升 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
