Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Show at 4.8 against ShowZone's 3.5. The Show also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). ShowZone's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (27 vs 5). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
