Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 微信输入法 at 4.0 against 东方输入法's 2.5. 微信输入法 also leads on ratings volume (757 vs 2). 东方输入法's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 43%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

微信输入法 holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 微信输入法 has 757 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of 东方输入法's written reviews are positive against 43% of 微信输入法's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 21, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
