Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rightguide at 100% against China Eastern's 2%. Rightguide also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 weeks). China Eastern's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
