Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Synonyms Quiz at none against ZZizzle's 7. Synonyms Quiz also leads on ratings volume (681 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). ZZizzle's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months). On price and review sentiment there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ZZizzle sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Synonyms Quiz asks for nothing beyond the download.
ZZizzle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Synonyms Quiz has 681 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Synonyms Quiz's written reviews are positive against 83% of ZZizzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Synonyms Quiz ships an update every 11 months, ZZizzle monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
