Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Zima Client at none against OpenIoTHub's shown. Zima Client also leads on ratings volume (259 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). OpenIoTHub's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
