The clearest difference is rating: FlashZen at 5.0 against Practice Japanese's 4.0. FlashZen also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Practice Japanese's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
