# Armstrong vs TruGreen

The clearest difference is rating: TruGreen at 4.6 against Armstrong's 2.4. TruGreen also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 15 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Armstrong's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

TruGreen holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TruGreen has 22K ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Armstrong's written reviews are positive against 10% of TruGreen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Armstrong ships an update every 15 months, TruGreen every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
