Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Z at 5.0 against XPENG's 4.3. Z also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). XPENG's advantage is review sentiment (62% vs 33%) and ratings volume (11 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Z holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of XPENG's written reviews are positive against 33% of Z's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
XPENG ships an update every 4 weeks, Z monthly. Both last shipped on September 18, 2026.
