Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ZeroLife at 4.7 against THRIIIVE's 3.6. ZeroLife also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 10 days) and ratings volume (33 vs 5). THRIIIVE's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZeroLife sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and THRIIIVE sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ZeroLife holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZeroLife has 33 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of ZeroLife's written reviews are positive against 100% of THRIIIVE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ZeroLife ships an update daily, THRIIIVE every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
