Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PushDeer自架版 at none against OpenCat's 4. PushDeer自架版 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). OpenCat's advantage is ratings volume (841 vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
