Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Visual Inspect™ at Free against ZoneTrekker's $3.99. Visual Inspect™ also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). ZoneTrekker's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 33%) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
