# ZHouse vs CDR

The clearest difference is rating: CDR at 5.0 against ZHouse's 4.5. CDR also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). ZHouse's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (93 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZHouse sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and CDR sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CDR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZHouse has 93 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of ZHouse's written reviews are positive against 50% of CDR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ZHouse ships an update every 11 days, CDR every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
