Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chime Pro at 100% against 成語辭典進階版's 55%. Chime Pro also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). 成語辭典進階版's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 17 months) and price ($4.99 vs $9.99). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
