Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Koi Feeder at 100% against Zen Pond's 52%. Koi Feeder also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Zen Pond's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (3.4 vs 3.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Zen Pond sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Koi Feeder asks for nothing beyond the download.
Zen Pond holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zen Pond has 46 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Zen Pond's written reviews are positive against 100% of Koi Feeder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
