Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mad Merx at none against ZigZag Line's shown. Mad Merx also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 69 months) and ratings volume (313 vs 15). ZigZag Line's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (80% vs 60%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mad Merx sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and ZigZag Line sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Mad Merx against 4.4 for ZigZag Line. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mad Merx has 313 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Mad Merx's written reviews are positive against 80% of ZigZag Line's.
Mad Merx ships an update every 3 weeks, ZigZag Line every 69 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
