Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 潍Toutiao at none against MSN's shown. 潍Toutiao also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). MSN's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and chart position (#74 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
