Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HKP e at none against DriverTone 司機通's 1. HKP e also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.5). DriverTone 司機通's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
