Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Epic Orchestra at 4.6 against ZBM's 3.7. Epic Orchestra also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (830 vs 3). ZBM's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
