Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Nine Lives at none against ZombCube's 5. The Nine Lives also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). ZombCube's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZombCube sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. The Nine Lives asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Nine Lives holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZombCube has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
