Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Zantray at 5.0 against Bastyon's 4.3. Zantray also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Bastyon's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
