Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Helios Run at none against Zookemon's 10. Helios Run also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Zookemon's advantage is ratings volume (46K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.5 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
