# ZBM vs DEEMO II

The clearest difference is rating: DEEMO II at 4.8 against ZBM's 3.7. DEEMO II also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 3). ZBM's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZBM sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and DEEMO II sells 43 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DEEMO II holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DEEMO II has 3.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of ZBM's written reviews are positive against 68% of DEEMO II's.

ZBM ships an update fortnightly, DEEMO II every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
