Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: 藏龙音乐 at 100% against HiByMusic's 42%. 藏龙音乐 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). HiByMusic's advantage is ratings volume (140 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
