Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Heat Escape at none against ZigZag Line's shown. Heat Escape also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 69 months) and review sentiment (91% vs 80%). ZigZag Line's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, 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 Heat Escape sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ZigZag Line holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 45 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of ZigZag Line's written reviews are positive against 91% of Heat Escape's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ZigZag Line ships an update every 69 months, Heat Escape every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
