Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Zolu at none against Walking Games's shown. Zolu also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). Walking Games's advantage is ratings volume (176 vs 6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Walking Games sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Zolu sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Zolu holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Walking Games has 176 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Walking Games's written reviews are positive against 100% of Zolu's.
Walking Games ships an update fortnightly, Zolu every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
