Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Mirror at 4.7 against 明報新聞's 2.4. The Mirror also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 27) and review sentiment (37% vs 20%). 明報新聞's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
