Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Zen Backgammon at none against Backgammon..'s 3. Zen Backgammon also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 13 months). Backgammon..'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
