Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 新浪围棋 at none against GoQuest's shown. 新浪围棋 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). GoQuest's advantage is ratings volume (573 vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 新浪围棋 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GoQuest sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
