Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Saga at every 3 weeks against Zipangu's every 5 months. Saga also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Zipangu's advantage is ratings volume (102 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
