Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bad Box at 5.0 against ZigZag Line's 4.4. Bad Box also leads on update cadence (every 20 months vs every 69 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). ZigZag Line's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
