Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Zaatar at 5.0 against ArabLounge's 4.0. Zaatar also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). ArabLounge's advantage is ratings volume (48 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
