Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dancing Line at 4.6 against ZigZag's 4.2. Dancing Line also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#31 vs unranked). ZigZag's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZigZag sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Dancing Line sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dancing Line holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 32K and 96K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of ZigZag's written reviews are positive against 50% of Dancing Line'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 Line every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
