Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: 香港01 at free with in-app purchases against FT中文网's subscription. FT中文网's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
