TruGreen and Virtual Bead Board both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Virtual Bead Board's written reviews are positive against 10% of TruGreen's. Virtual Bead Board also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). TruGreen's advantage is price (Free vs $9.99) and ratings volume (22K vs 3). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
