# ZigZag vs Dancing Borderline

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.

Both are free to download. ZigZag sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Dancing Borderline sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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