Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Merge at none against Zoo Shuffle's 6. Merge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Zoo Shuffle's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 20 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
