Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: StickBo at none against Zone Clash's shown. StickBo also leads on ratings volume (512 vs 2) and iOS requirement (3.2 vs 16.0). Zone Clash's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (88% vs 69%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
