# MTG Trades vs Orgro

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.

Both are free to download. MTG Trades sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Orgro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
