Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 豆瓣 at 4.5 against ChaseDream's 1.8. 豆瓣 also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 6) and review sentiment (22% vs 0%). ChaseDream's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
