Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Truffle at 65% against Zerocater's 6%. Truffle also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.5) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). Zerocater's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
