Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Zapya at none against Google Chrome's 25. Zapya also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Google Chrome's advantage is ratings volume (4.1M vs 33K) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Google Chrome against 4.5 for Zapya. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 4.1M ratings behind it against 33K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 61% and 62% positive.
