Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LDS Database at none against Zaion's 1. LDS Database also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). Zaion's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zaion sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. LDS Database asks for nothing beyond the download.
Zaion holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LDS Database has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of LDS Database's written reviews are positive against 100% of Zaion's.
LDS Database ships an update every 4 days, Zaion monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
