GetGreen is the mobile platform that helps you make an impact on climate change through your everyday habits! Our goal is to empower individuals to transform industries and the environment through collective individual actions. The Pew Research Center shows that 80% of people want to make changes in how they work and live to reduce the effects of global climate change, but not everyone knows where to start. GetGreen offers various levels of entry to assist everyone ranging from beginners to experts. Changing old habits can be difficult, so GetGreen can help you target specific areas in your life to suggest eco-friendly actions and new habits to adopt to help fight the climate crisis. Helpful notifications keep you on track until the new, sustainable habits become your normal routine. Each action you complete earns “leaves” which represent approximately 10 pounds of CO2 diverted from reaching the atmosphere. Those leaves give you an easy way to track your progress and see the impact of all of your actions. GetGreen features: · 400+ actions ranging from easy to hard to help you build up to a more sustainable lifestyle · Action categories include health & wellness, food & dining, around the house, workplace, and more to inspire change in all aspects of life · Set goals for yourself to earn badges by completing specific goals such as Emissions Expert and Home Energy Saver · Identify and support sustainable merchants and products that are committed to reducing the impact on the environment Try GetGreen today to go beyond simply calculating your carbon footprint.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JouleBug at none against GetGreen's 1. JouleBug also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). GetGreen's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. GetGreen sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. JouleBug asks for nothing beyond the download.
GetGreen holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 41 and 146 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of JouleBug's written reviews are positive against 67% of GetGreen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
JouleBug ships an update every 3 months, GetGreen monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
