Point your camera at something and Scrapped tells you which bin it goes in. Recycle, compost, or garbage. It runs on your phone. You don't need an account or internet, and no photo leaves your device. A plastic container is recycling if it's rigid and rinsed, garbage if it's a bag or a wrapper or covered in grease. Scrapped asks you instead of guessing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Rain Bird at 79K against Scrapped's 2. Rain Bird also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Scrapped's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
