Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Zeno Mobile One at 3.7 against Bluebeam's 1.5. Zeno Mobile One also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Bluebeam's advantage is ratings volume (409 vs 3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Zeno Mobile One holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bluebeam has 409 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 3% of Bluebeam's written reviews are positive against 0% of Zeno Mobile One's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bluebeam ships an update monthly, Zeno Mobile One every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
