Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Zero at 100% against X's 34%. Zero also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). X's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
