Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Zoo Panic at none against ExciteCatcher's shown. Zoo Panic also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). ExciteCatcher's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 33 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
