Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ABDi GateAccess at 4.9 against Zuul Systems's 3.9. ABDi GateAccess also leads on ratings volume (80K vs 35). Zuul Systems's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ABDi GateAccess holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ABDi GateAccess has 80K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of ABDi GateAccess's written reviews are positive against 68% of Zuul Systems's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ABDi GateAccess ships an update every 3 weeks, Zuul Systems weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
