Both are free to download. WasTrans sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and RoboShine sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RoboShine holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 28 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of WasTrans's written reviews are positive against 0% of RoboShine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WasTrans ships an update every 3 weeks, RoboShine every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
