Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 荔枝新闻 at none against 新华社's 19. 荔枝新闻 also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 67%) and rating (4.2 vs 3.8). 新华社's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
