Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Z5 at 100% against LOOK CYCLE's 8%. Z5 also leads on rating (4.0 vs 1.4) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.1). LOOK CYCLE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
