Media Base is a personal collection tracker for the physical and digital media you actually own - books, comics, movies, TV shows, anime, vinyl/CDs, and tabletop games, all cataloged in one place instead of scattered across seven different mental lists. SEVEN CATEGORIES, ONE APP Books and Comics/Manga with real ISBN lookup. Movies, TV Shows, and Anime with rich metadata and a direct link to see where to watch. Vinyl/CD with genre and artist details. Tabletop Games covering both board games and card games. Every category supports the fastest way to add something that actually works for it - a barcode scan, a title search, or typing it in by hand. AUTOMATIC, NOT TEDIOUS Add something by scanning its barcode or searching its title, and the cover photo, genre, and other details fill in on their own. Prefer to add your own photo instead? That works too, on any entry. TRACK WHAT MATTERS TO YOU Mark anything as read, watched, listened to, or played, and rate and review it. Filter your whole collection by genre, search by title, and jump around a long list with a real A-Z index. A daily "try this next" suggestion helps surface something from your own backlog instead of just adding to it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no login, no ads, no tracking. Everything you add is stored on your own device. Media Base looks up titles from a few public sources (TMDb, Discogs, BoardGameGeek, Open Library, Google Books) to fill in details automatically, but never sends anything about you - only the title or barcode you're searching for.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Media Base at 5.0 against ZERO's 2.4. ZERO's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Media Base holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZERO has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
