# Zenless Zone Zero vs Solo Leveling

The clearest difference is rating: Solo Leveling at 4.7 against Zenless Zone Zero's 4.1. Solo Leveling also leads on ads (none vs shown). Zenless Zone Zero's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 46%) and chart position (#20 vs #74). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zenless Zone Zero sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Solo Leveling sells 39 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Solo Leveling holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22K and 59K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Zenless Zone Zero's written reviews are positive against 46% of Solo Leveling's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Zenless Zone Zero ships an update every 6 weeks, Solo Leveling monthly. Both last shipped on October 1, 2026.
