# ZipBy vs X

The clearest difference is rating: X at 5.0 against ZipBy's 4.0. X also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). ZipBy's advantage is ratings volume (548 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

X holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZipBy has 548 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of ZipBy's written reviews are positive against 14% of X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ZipBy ships an update every 5 weeks, X every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
