Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 新华社 at 67% against 北京时间's 0%. 新华社 also leads on rating (3.8 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (25 vs 5). 北京时间's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
