Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Z at none against V360 Pro's 10. V360 Pro's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 5%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. V360 Pro sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Z asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Z holds the better App Store score, 1.6 against 1.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 36 and 91 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of V360 Pro's written reviews are positive against 5% of Z's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

V360 Pro ships an update every 4 days, Z every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
