Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: mySPAD at none against China Tour Guide's shown. mySPAD also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 14.0). China Tour Guide's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 40 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
