# 千读 vs 说客英语

The clearest difference is rating: 千读 at 4.5 against 说客英语's 4.0. 说客英语's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 千读 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 说客英语 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

千读 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of 千读's written reviews are positive against 78% of 说客英语's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

千读 ships an update monthly, 说客英语 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 31, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
