Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: xDelete at 4.7 against Z1 / TEQSPORT Connect's 3.7. xDelete also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 36 months) and ratings volume (499 vs 7). Z1 / TEQSPORT Connect's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
xDelete holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xDelete has 499 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of xDelete's written reviews are positive against 100% of Z1 / TEQSPORT Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
xDelete ships an update every 10 days, Z1 / TEQSPORT Connect every 36 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
