Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: I Ching Learning at none against sp8cetime's 2. I Ching Learning also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). sp8cetime's advantage is ratings volume (90 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
