# Bins vs Rogers Xfinity

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bins at 91% against Rogers Xfinity's 7%. Bins also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.2). Rogers Xfinity's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 2.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Rogers Xfinity holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rogers Xfinity has 503 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Bins's written reviews are positive against 7% of Rogers Xfinity's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bins ships an update every 7 months, Rogers Xfinity every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
