Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TrashBlitz at none against Gather's 6. TrashBlitz also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 63%). Gather's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gather sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. TrashBlitz asks for nothing beyond the download.
Gather holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gather has 171 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of TrashBlitz's written reviews are positive against 63% of Gather's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TrashBlitz ships an update every 2 months, Gather every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
