Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Eco360 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Halifax Recycles has 69 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Halifax Recycles's written reviews are positive against 81% of Eco360's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Halifax Recycles ships an update every 3 months, Eco360 every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
