Both are free to download. ZigZag sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Rolly Vortex sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Rolly Vortex holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rolly Vortex has 305K ratings behind it against 32K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of ZigZag's written reviews are positive against 53% of Rolly Vortex'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, Rolly Vortex every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
