Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 汉字练习 at none against ChineseSkill's 10. 汉字练习 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 90%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). ChineseSkill's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 7 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
