# Identity V vs Zenless Zone Zero

The clearest difference is rating: Identity V at 4.7 against Zenless Zone Zero's 4.1. Identity V also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (132K vs 22K). Zenless Zone Zero's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 43%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Identity V sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Zenless Zone Zero sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Identity V holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Identity V has 132K ratings behind it against 22K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Identity V's written reviews are positive against 60% of Zenless Zone Zero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Identity V ships an update every 2 weeks, Zenless Zone Zero every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
