# Merge Safari vs Zoologic

The clearest difference is rating: Merge Safari at 4.7 against Zoologic's 3.9. Merge Safari also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 44%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Zoologic's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Merge Safari sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Zoologic sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Merge Safari holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Merge Safari has 12K ratings behind it against 180, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Merge Safari's written reviews are positive against 44% of Zoologic's.

Merge Safari ships an update fortnightly, Zoologic every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
