Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ZigZag at 4.2 against aa's 3.8. ZigZag also leads on ratings volume (32K vs 10K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). aa's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
