(A)PNG supports semi-transparency. In GIF a pixel is either full transparent or full opaque.

Also while true color gifs seem to be possible it is usually limited to 256 colors per image.

For those reasons alone APNG is much better than GIF.

No, it's limited to 256 colors per frame and frames can have duration 0 which allows you to combine multiple frames into more than 256 color images.
