Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 芦苇 at none against PatchDoc's 1. 芦苇 also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). PatchDoc's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (6 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
