Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ARZO at 100% against Color Date's 33%. ARZO also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Color Date's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
