Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dancing Borderline at 100% against ZigZag's 64%. Dancing Borderline also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). ZigZag's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (32K vs 18). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ZigZag holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZigZag has 32K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of ZigZag's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dancing Borderline's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ZigZag ships an update every 2 months, Dancing Borderline monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
