Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PaperVN at 5.0 against 小黑盒's 4.5. PaperVN also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). 小黑盒's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
