Verdict
The clearest difference is price: 18XXc at Free against ZipManager's $0.99. 18XXc also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (17 vs 2). ZipManager's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
