Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Zi at none against chineseedu's 10. Zi also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). chineseedu's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
