Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Puzzle Tracker at 4.7 against Minnesota Zoo's 3.8. Puzzle Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 months). Minnesota Zoo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
