Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Zombie Squeeze at Free against Pirate Pop's $0.99. Zombie Squeeze also leads on update cadence (every 13 months vs every 121 months). Pirate Pop's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (5 vs 3). On in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
