Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cloudpense at 3.7 against HSBC China's 2.4. Cloudpense also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). HSBC China's advantage is ratings volume (120 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
