# Zapping vs Mall del Sol

The clearest difference is ads: Zapping at none against Mall del Sol's shown. Zapping also leads on ratings volume (159 vs 6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Mall del Sol's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.0 vs 3.8). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Mall del Sol holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zapping has 159 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Zapping's written reviews are positive against 6% of Mall del Sol's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Zapping ships an update every 2 months, Mall del Sol fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
