Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Henle Library at 3.0 against 国际声乐's 1.0. Henle Library also leads on ratings volume (94 vs 2). 国际声乐's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Henle Library sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and 国际声乐 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
