# 中国語の王様 vs HelloChinese

The clearest difference is rating: HelloChinese at 4.9 against 中国語の王様's 4.0. HelloChinese also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (95% vs 67%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 中国語の王様 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and HelloChinese sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HelloChinese holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HelloChinese has 24K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of 中国語の王様's written reviews are positive against 95% of HelloChinese's.

中国語の王様 ships an update monthly, HelloChinese weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
