Starry Internet holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Starry Internet has 3.3K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Starry Internet's written reviews are positive against 40% of Bigbelly Smart Compost's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Starry Internet ships an update every 2 months, Bigbelly Smart Compost every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
