Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: HelloChinese at freemium against 汉字王国's subscription. HelloChinese also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). 汉字王国's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 汉字王国 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per month and HelloChinese sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
