Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hello Chinese at 5.0 against 听书助手's 4.5. Hello Chinese also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). 听书助手's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
