Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ZATCA holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZATCA has 189 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of ZATCA's written reviews are positive against 20% of Ersal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ZATCA ships an update fortnightly, Ersal every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
