Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GameCovered at 100% against ZebraWeb's 33%. GameCovered also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). ZebraWeb's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (159 vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
