Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Relatos at 5.0 against Zombie Exodus's 4.6. Relatos also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Zombie Exodus's advantage is ratings volume (362 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
