Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: 澎湃新闻 at Free against ZAKER专业版's $0.99. 澎湃新闻 also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and review sentiment (79% vs 51%). ZAKER专业版's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and chart position (#27 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
