Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Zones at free with in-app purchases against World Clock Pro's subscription. Zones also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and device support (4 vs 2). World Clock Pro's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 79) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
