Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Zenleaps at free against Dona's freemium. Zenleaps also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Dona's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
