Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 音壳 at none against Teach Note's shown. 音壳 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Teach Note's advantage is ratings volume (196 vs 19). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
