Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Subway® at weekly against Zaxbys's monthly. Subway® also leads on ratings volume (1.2M vs 112K) and chart position (#21 vs #66). Zaxbys's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 17%) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, rating, 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.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Zaxbys against 4.8 for Subway®. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subway® has 1.2M ratings behind it against 112K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 29% of Zaxbys's written reviews are positive against 17% of Subway®'s.
Zaxbys ships an update monthly, Subway® weekly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
