The clearest difference is price: Zulily at Free against i's $0.99. Zulily also leads on ratings volume (725K vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

i holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zulily has 725K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Zulily's written reviews are positive against 67% of i's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Zulily ships an update monthly, i every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
