Unsere App ContainAR beruht auf der Augmented Reality-Technologie und ermöglicht es Ihnen, virtuelle Abfallcontainer in Originalgröße am Wunschort zu platzieren. So können Sie sich den Container sowie dessen Dimensionen besser vorstellen und prüfen, ob sich der gewählte Containerstandort eignet. Mithilfe der integrierten Fotofunktion ist es zudem möglich, diesen bildlich festzuhalten und an Ihre Bestellung in unserem Shop anzufügen. Somit weiß auch unser Fahrer, wo er den Container abstellen soll. Die App bietet alle gängigen Absetz- und Abrollcontainer mit und ohne Deckel zur Auswahl an. So ist auch für Ihr Projekt der passende Container dabei. Detaillierte Containerbeschreibungen erleichtern zusätzlich die Auswahl des korrekten Containers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ContainAR at none against PVE Guard's 1. ContainAR also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.2). PVE Guard's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
