Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CoolTok at 5.0 against 华人头条－CHNM's 3.8. CoolTok also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). 华人头条－CHNM's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (24 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
