# Trashbot vs MineGeon

The clearest difference is ads: MineGeon at none against Trashbot's shown. MineGeon also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (193 vs 13). Trashbot's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (75% vs 64%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trashbot sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and MineGeon sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Trashbot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MineGeon has 193 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Trashbot's written reviews are positive against 64% of MineGeon's.

Trashbot ships an update every 10 months, MineGeon every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
