Not verified — noted honestly rather than guessed: Android IAP structure beyond the $1.99–$49.99 range unknown (specific SKUs/tiers not extracted) · whether the two Weifu apps are related (shared brand, different devs) unresolved · 'Chinese-market companion app' hint unverified — iOS lists ZH among 12 languages and Android markets chat translation, but neither is China-first on its face · Android user-review sentiment not sampled (19.8K reviews exist); no Reddit community found · weifu.ai has zero archive history — no website-era pricing or positioning recoverable
