Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Zipli at none against Cookups's shown. Zipli also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Cookups's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
