Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MTG Trades at 4.6 against Orgro's 4.0. MTG Trades also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 12). Orgro's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (76% vs 62%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MTG Trades holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MTG Trades has 1.1K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of MTG Trades's written reviews are positive against 76% of Orgro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MTG Trades ships an update every 2 months, Orgro every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
