Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ZipMyFiles at Free against Snooker Buddy's $1.99. ZipMyFiles also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 21 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). Snooker Buddy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
