# Zing Messenger vs Ezza

The clearest difference is rating: Ezza at 4.5 against Zing Messenger's 3.6. Ezza also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Zing Messenger's advantage is ratings volume (191 vs 21). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zing Messenger sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Ezza sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
