Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Squire for Hire at 4.6 against Zero Orders Tactics's 4.0. Squire for Hire also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). Zero Orders Tactics's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and price ($1.99 vs $3.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Squire for Hire holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Squire for Hire has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Squire for Hire's written reviews are positive against 100% of Zero Orders Tactics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Squire for Hire ships an update every 3 weeks, Zero Orders Tactics every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
