Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Edmonton Waste Wise holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Edmonton Waste Wise has 33 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Edmonton Waste Wise's written reviews are positive against 100% of Insulator's Field Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
