# ZenDots vs Green the Planet 2

The clearest difference is ads: ZenDots at none against Green the Planet 2's shown. ZenDots also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Green the Planet 2's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 179). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZenDots sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Green the Planet 2 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Green the Planet 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Green the Planet 2 has 1.4K ratings behind it against 179, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of ZenDots's written reviews are positive against 91% of Green the Planet 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ZenDots ships an update fortnightly, Green the Planet 2 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
