The Swachhata-MoHUA is the official app of Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), GOI. The app enables a citizen to post a civic-related issue (eg; a garbage dump) which is then forwarded to the city corporation concerned and thereafter assigned to the sanitary inspector of the particular ward. The app has been built by IChangeMyCity – a division of Janaagraha, a Bengaluru based non-profit working to improve the quality of life in India’s cities and towns. How does it work? Take a picture of the Civic-related issue using your smart phone, and post it in one of the following categories. ・Garbage dump ・Garbage vehicle not arrived ・Dustbins not cleaned ・Sweeping not done ・Dead animals ・Public toilet(s) cleaning ・Public toilet(s) blockage ・No water supply in public toilet(s) ・No electricity in public toilet(s) The app will capture the location while the picture is being taken. Just type in the landmark of the complaint location. The complaint will then be assigned to the concerned sanitary inspector/engineer. You can also vote up on any other complaint relevant to you. You will get regular updates on the status of the complaint in the form of a push notification with the ‘Resolved’ image uploaded by the assigned sanitary inspector/engineer. You can also reopen the complaint if you are not satisfied with the resolution of the complaint.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ECINET at 5.0 against Swachhata's 3.4. ECINET also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). Swachhata's advantage is ratings volume (91 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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.
ECINET holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swachhata has 91 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Swachhata's written reviews are positive against 15% of ECINET's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Swachhata ships an update every 3 weeks, ECINET every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
