Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: apinch at 100% against Zerocater's 6%. apinch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Zerocater's advantage is ratings volume (60 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
