Both are free to download. Plot Miner sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Garbage Collectors sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Garbage Collectors holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Garbage Collectors has 7.5K ratings behind it against 140, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 4% of Plot Miner's written reviews are positive against 50% of Garbage Collectors's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
