# 中国大学MOOC（慕课） vs 极简课程表

The clearest difference is monetization model: 极简课程表 at free against 中国大学MOOC（慕课）'s free with in-app purchases. 极简课程表 also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 72%). 中国大学MOOC（慕课）'s advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 36). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 中国大学MOOC（慕课） sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 极简课程表 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for 中国大学MOOC（慕课） against 4.8 for 极简课程表. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 中国大学MOOC（慕课） has 3.5K ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of 中国大学MOOC（慕课）'s written reviews are positive against 94% of 极简课程表's.

中国大学MOOC（慕课） ships an update fortnightly, 极简课程表 every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
