Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: 希望之聲 at every 3 weeks against MINGHUI's every 4 months. 希望之聲 also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). MINGHUI's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (846 vs 67). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
