Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Falling Fred Z at none against ZigZag Line's shown. Falling Fred Z also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 69 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 15). ZigZag Line's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (80% vs 72%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
