Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: bootbag at 4.6 against Zimmy's 4.0. bootbag also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Zimmy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support 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.
bootbag holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: bootbag has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of bootbag's written reviews are positive against 100% of Zimmy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
bootbag ships an update every 2 weeks, Zimmy daily. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
