Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Japan Question at Free against Speed Cantonese's $4.99. Japan Question also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 54 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Speed Cantonese's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
