WinZip over 7zip?

I am using 7zip since it's free. But I have a friend who got activation license for WinZip and he's giving it to me.

I checked online and it seems 7zip, although it's free, performs better than WinZip.

 

Is there any reason for me to use WinZip over 7zip? I will appreciate if there's some reason you could leave behind. :) Thank you!

I never noticed a big enough difference that made one better than the other

It's another way of saying the two alternatives are the same.
