Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: eChineseWorld at none against iHuman Chinese's 16. eChineseWorld also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). iHuman Chinese's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
