Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ZoJacks at 100% against Ting's 72%. ZoJacks also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Ting's advantage is ratings volume (110K vs 10) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Ting holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ting has 110K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Ting's written reviews are positive against 100% of ZoJacks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ting ships an update every 2 months, ZoJacks fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
