Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Zen Backgammon at none against Backgammon Mint's 20. Zen Backgammon also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). Backgammon Mint's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
