The clearest difference is rating: 华人168 at 3.8 against 美团's 3.0. 华人168 also leads on ads (none vs shown). 美团's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 200). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 华人168 sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. 美团 asks for nothing beyond the download.
