Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Brain Dump at none against Zen Routine's 2. Brain Dump also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Zen Routine's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
