Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: MURRAY CAFE at free against Zaro's's free with in-app purchases. MURRAY CAFE also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Zaro's's advantage is ratings volume (339 vs 15) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
