Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 火星小说 at 3.8 against 寒武纪年's 3.0. 火星小说 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). 寒武纪年's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
