A zero-based budget is a budget where every single dollar of your income is assigned to a budget category. This ensures that every single dollar of your income is accounted for and is working for you. As you track your spending, you assign your transactions to one of the budget categories and ensure you don't go over that category's limit.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WellOff at 100% against Budget Zero's 50%. WellOff also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). Budget Zero's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
