Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: zEdit at 4.7 against Backpack Live's 3.0. zEdit also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 55 months) and ratings volume (26 vs 1). Backpack Live's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
