Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 海博TV at 3.0 against 大象新闻's 2.5. 海博TV also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). 大象新闻's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (24 vs 2). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
