Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PTT 鄉民樂 at 3.2 against 4Plurk's 2.0. PTT 鄉民樂 also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (38% vs 29%). 4Plurk's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
