The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Zombie Dozen at none against Dead Zed's 11. Zombie Dozen also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). Dead Zed's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 2). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
