Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Send My Bag App at 54% against Forest's 11%. Send My Bag App also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Forest's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Forest holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forest has 834 ratings behind it against 120, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Send My Bag App's written reviews are positive against 11% of Forest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Send My Bag App ships an update every 5 weeks, Forest weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
