Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MiOS at 3.0 against Z's 1.6. MiOS also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Z's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases 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.
MiOS holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of MiOS's written reviews are positive against 20% of Z's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MiOS ships an update monthly, Z every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
