# ZigZag Line vs Bad Box

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.

Both are free to download. ZigZag Line sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Bad Box sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bad Box holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZigZag Line has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ZigZag Line ships an update every 69 months, Bad Box every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
