Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Moonlight at Free against ZineControl's $14.99. Moonlight also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). ZineControl's advantage is chart position (#80 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
