Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Paddle Ship Arcade at none against Zipo!'s 10. Paddle Ship Arcade also leads on ads (none vs shown). Zipo!'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
