Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
GT e holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GT e has 587 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Zap by Paystack's written reviews are positive against 50% of GT e's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Zap by Paystack ships an update every 2 weeks, GT e fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
