Verdict
ZAKER and 果壳 both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of ZAKER's written reviews are positive against 0% of 果壳's. ZAKER also leads on ratings volume (391 vs 29). 果壳's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
果壳 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZAKER has 391 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of ZAKER's written reviews are positive against 0% of 果壳's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ZAKER ships an update monthly, 果壳 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
