Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Pumpd at free against Zeno's free with in-app purchases. Pumpd also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (3 vs 1). Zeno's advantage is ratings volume (237 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Zeno sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Pumpd sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pumpd holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zeno has 237 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Zeno ships an update every 3 weeks, Pumpd every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
