Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Octopus at 78% against Z's 6%. Octopus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (22K vs 66). Z's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
