Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ZigZag at 4.2 against BBTAN's 3.1. ZigZag also leads on ratings volume (32K vs 1.1K) and review sentiment (64% vs 49%). BBTAN's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
