Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ZTK at 5.0 against APTV's 4.5. ZTK also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). APTV's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (441 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
