Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Dotsu at Free against Zymon's $0.99. Dotsu also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Zymon's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
