# 皇帝的一天 vs Artlist

The clearest difference is rating: Artlist at 4.7 against 皇帝的一天's 3.9. Artlist also leads on ratings volume (82 vs 9). 皇帝的一天's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Artlist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 皇帝的一天 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Artlist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Artlist has 82 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 皇帝的一天's written reviews are positive against 70% of Artlist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

皇帝的一天 ships an update every 10 months, Artlist every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
