The clearest difference is rating: FT中文网 at 4.7 against 美国中文电视's 3.8. FT中文网 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). 美国中文电视's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
