Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Zimmy at none against Frantic Architect's 2. Zimmy also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 10 days) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Frantic Architect's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (9 vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
