# Refill Return vs LumoGo

The clearest difference is rating: LumoGo at 4.2 against Refill Return's 2.7. LumoGo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Refill Return's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

LumoGo holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LumoGo has 117 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Refill Return's written reviews are positive against 14% of LumoGo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Refill Return ships an update every 4 weeks, LumoGo every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
