Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 在哪儿GPS at 100% against 微博's 27%. 在哪儿GPS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). 微博's advantage is ratings volume (7.7K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
