Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ServerCat at Free against Zeitgeist's $1.99. ServerCat also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (996 vs 24). Zeitgeist's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On rating, ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
