Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HEXASWEEPER at none against Zip Connection's 4. HEXASWEEPER also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.2). Zip Connection's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 13 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
