Verdict
The clearest difference is price: fGet at Free against Zipym Lite's $0.29. fGet also leads on ratings volume (988 vs 23). Zipym Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On rating, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
