Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AdZapper at 5.0 against PasteChat's 4.2. AdZapper also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%). PasteChat's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (14 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
