Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Needs at 100% against ZMall's 28%. Needs also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8). ZMall's advantage is ratings volume (768 vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
