Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Z at every 2 weeks against Kacam's every 2 months. Z also leads on rating (2.3 vs 2.1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Kacam's advantage is review sentiment (15% vs 6%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases 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.
Z holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 2.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 176 and 72 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Kacam's written reviews are positive against 6% of Z's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Kacam ships an update every 2 months, Z every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
