Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ZenPace at 5.0 against CardioCoach's 2.9. ZenPace also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). CardioCoach's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
